   abstract = {A lot of information is interesting in a local context, e.g. the bus schedule of the local bus station or the location and opening hours of the closest supermarket. Therefore, location-aware access to information and services is an important feature of applications for mobile and ubiquitous devices. Most existing location-aware systems have been designed for certain applications, for example office information systems or tourist guides. At the University of Stuttgart we have developed a system for location-aware information access that serves as a platform for different kinds of information systems. Its main objectives were the seamless integration with existing Internet mechanisms and protocols and the intention to make publishing location-aware information as easy as setting up a page on the World Wide Web.},

   abstract = {Tree-based reliable multicast protocols are known to provide better scalability than the protocols based on pure sender- and receiver-initiated schemes. However, previous analytical work that has provided these results is based on a system model which assumes reliable control message delivery and synchronized local clocks. These assumptions are questionable simplifications, since they favor protocols using multicasted negative acknowledgments with NAK avoidance scheme. In this paper, we extend previous analysis by taking into account control data loss and asynchronous local clocks. We further analyze a new protocol class with particular importance, the tree-based approach with aggregated acknowledgments. In contrast to other approaches, this class provides reliability not only in case of message loss but also in case of node failures. Our results show that the additional overhead to cope with node failures is very low and therefore acceptable for reliable multicast implementations.},

   abstract = {Many new applications like groupware systems, news and file distribution or audio/video systems are based on multicast as a prerequisite for scalability. Many of these applications need the multicast support to be reliable, which is realized in a scalable way by tree based multicast transport protocols, where the receivers are organized in a ACK tree. Tree based approaches raise the problem of setting up and maintaining the ACK tree, which is usually done by variations of the expanding ring search (ERS) approach. In this paper we present an alternative approach for creating ACK trees which is based on the concept of a distributed token repository service. Simulation results show that our approach leads to a lower message overhead than ERS and results in better shaped ACK trees.},

   abstract = {Reliable multicast is realized in a scalable way by tree based approaches, where the receivers are organized in an ACK tree. Usually, expanding ring search (ERS) is used to create such ACK trees. However, ERS has some shortcomings like poor scalability, strong dependency on the multicast routing protocol and the need for bidirectional multicast capable networks, which makes it difficult to use ERS as the Internet standard mechanism. In this paper we propose the Token Repository Service (TRS), which is based on a token repository and a modification of ERS. The TRS stores tokens, which represents the right for a joining node to connect to a certain parent node in the ACK tree. Performance evaluations show that the TRS approach has several advantageous compared to ERS, like improved scalability and independence of the routing protocol.},

   abstract = {Multicast is an efficient communication technique to save bandwidth for group communication purposes. A number of protocols have been proposed in the past to provide a reliable multicast service. Briefly classified, they can be distinguished into sender-initiated, receiver-initiated and tree-based approaches. In this paper, an analytical bandwidth evaluation of generic reliable multicast protocols is presented. Of particular importance are new classes with aggregated acknowledgments. In contrast to other approaches, these classes provide reliability not only in case of message loss but also in case of node failures. Our analysis is based on a realistic system model, including data packet and control packet loss, asynchronous local clocks and imperfect scope-limited local groups. Our results show that hierarchical approaches are superior. They provide higher throughput as well as lower bandwidth consumption. Relating to protocols with aggregated acknowledgments, the analysis shows only little additional bandwidth overhead and therefore high throughput rates.},

   abstract = {When used in an outdoor environment mobile information systems often suffer from the disadvantages of wireless WANs. Hoarding is a method to overcome these disadvantages by transferring information which is probably needed by the user in advance. Existing hoarding mechanisms are either developed for a certain type of application or do not consider the user's location when selecting the information items to hoard. However, exploiting location information can be of great benefit with respect to the achievable hit-ratios. The hoarding mechanism suggested in this paper is both location-aware and universally applicable. Therefore, it can be used as a generic mechanism in a platform which supports different kinds of mobile information systems. In addition, it can be adapted to different degrees of knowledge about the user's movement.},
