Abstract

The networking landscape of today is characterized by diverse access technologies including cellular, WiFi, Ethernet, MANETs, and ZigBee, and properly managing this heterogeneous networking infrastructure is a key challenge to take full advantage of its many opportunities. In this paper, we propose MINA (Multinetwork INformation Architecture), a reflective (self-observing and adapting) middleware approach to realize and manage dynamic and heterogeneous multi-networks in pervasive environments. A novel aspect of MINA is that it embodies an Observe-Analyze-Adapt (OAA) loop to i) achieve a reasonably accurate, centralized global view of the multi-network through the design of novel techniques for overlay structuring, network state collection and formal methods-based analysis, and ii) take advantage of the global view for adapting multi-network structure by reallocating application flows across networks and proactively planning and deploying additional network resources.
