abstract = {Mobility patterns play an important role for performance evaluations of mobile
networks. To simulate user movement, existing simulation tools provide only a
few simple mobility models (e.g., random movement) suitable for particular
scenarios. To evaluate a new scenario, an appropriate model needs to be
created, but this requires extra work that distracts the researcher from
his/her main task. In general, three key elements determine the mobility of
users: the spatial environment, the user trip sequences, and the user movement
dynamics (e.g., speed). In this paper, we introduce a meta-model that
integrates these three elements in an easy-to-use framework, allowing a
flexible modeling of user mobility in custom scenarios. The framework is
available for download as a stand-alone trace generator and may be used
together with any simulation or emulation tool for mobile networks to evaluate
a specific scenario.},

abstract = {Inter-Vehicle Communication will become an important building block for ITS
telematics applications like safety and warning functions. Mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs) can serve as a local wireless network for exchanging
information between cars for cooperative driver assistance applications. For
the routing of data packets in such large-scale MANETs consisting of vehicles
on the road, geographic multi-hop packet forwarding is a promising approach.
However, a main drawback is that it performs poorly in networks with many
topology holes. In this paper, we propose a spatially aware packet routing
approach to predict permanent topology holes caused by spatial constraints and
avoid them aforehand. This approach is generic and can be used in combination
with any existing geographic forwarding protocol as an extension. Our
simulations demonstrate that spatial awareness can significantly improve
geographic forwarding performance in situations with many permanent topology
holes, like in dynamic vehicle networks.},

minimalism and extensibility in order to deploy the middleware on a variety of
devices ranging from sensor nodes to classical general purpose computers. In
this paper we will assess the taken approach based on two follow-up projects:
the port of BASE to a small embedded system and the design and implementation
of a component system on top of BASE. While the fundamental concepts and design
principles of BASE have proven to be solid, both projects provided insights

abstract = {The rapid development of mobile communication networks and the availability of
miniaturized and inexpensive sensor technology allow for the development of
multifunctional mobile devices that are able to collect and communicate context
information. We also currently see a clear trend towards the integration of
embedded systems including sensors into {\ss}mart`` everyday things, which is also
referred to as Ubiquitous Computing. The deployment of sensor technology allows
for so-called context-aware applications, going far beyond of providing mobile
access to information and computing resources. Context-aware applications
exploit captured sensor information to adapt to the current situation of mobile
users. For instance, the information offered to a user may depend on his
current location, and the way how it is presented to him may depend on the
speed he moves, whether he is on its own or with others, and so on.
In this paper, we characterize context-aware applications and present the
vision of a digital world model as the foundation for this class of
applications. Further, the paper discusses the benefits and reseach challenges
associated with digital world models, which allow applications to take into
account the state of the real world and react to state changes.},

application development. Additionally, we argue that an extensible middleware
platform covering small embedded systems to full-fledged desktop computers is
needed. Such a middleware should provide easy-to-use abstractions to access
remote services and device-specific capabilities. We present a micro-broker-
based approach which meets these requirements by allowing uniform access to
device capabilities and services through proxies and the integration of
different interoperability protocols. A minimum configuration of the middleware
can be executed on embedded systems. Resource-rich execution environments are
supported by the extensibility of the middleware.},

approaches, we have designed a universal sensor platform and integrated it into
an infrastructure-based approach as well as into ad hoc networks. In this paper
we discuss the requirements on such a platform, the design, and the
experiences.},

abstract = {The CarTALK 2000 project aims at the development of new driver assistance
systems that are based upon inter-vehicle communication. To this purpose, a
mobile ad hoc network (MANET) consisting of vehicles will be developed as the
communication platform to support co-operative driver assistance applications.
Routing in such a vehicular MANET faces a number of new challenges, in
particular due to the extremely dynamic network topology and a large variable
number of mobile nodes. Therefore, an efficient and scalable ad hoc routing
mechanism is crucial for the performance of the CarTALK 2000 communication
system. After analyzing the system characteristics and requirements, this paper
introduces a spatially aware routing protocol and a distributed location
service. The key of Spatially Aware Routing is to improve position-based
routing performance by integrating spatial environment information into
routing, such as the underlying road topology.},

abstract = {Die rasant fortschreitende Entwicklung von Sensorsystemen und drahtloser
Kommunikation f{\"u}hrt zu multifunktionalen mobilen Endger{\"a}ten, die in der Lage
sind, Kontextinformation zu erfassen, zu verarbeiten und zu kommunizieren.
Durch die extreme Miniaturisierung eingebetteter Systeme entstehen au{\ss}erdem
``intelligente'' Alltagsgegenst{\"a}nde, die in Netzwerke eingebunden sind und {\"u}ber
sensorische F{\"a}higkeiten verf{\"u}gen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Entwicklungen ist
es absehbar, dass in wenigen Jahren Milliarden von Sensoren existieren werden,
die kontinuierlich den Zustand der Realwelt erfassen und kommunizieren. F{\"u}hrt
man die sensorisch gewonnen Informationen in einem r{\"a}umlichen Modell zusammen,
so entsteht ein digitales Abbild der Realwelt, also ein digitales Weltmodell,
das analog zum heutigen Web einen globalen Informationsraum darstellt. Das
digitale Weltmodell kann Grundlage sein f{\"u}r ein breites Spektrum
kontextbezogener Anwendungen, deren Kontext prinzipiell keinen r{\"a}umlichen
Beschr{\"a}nkungen unterworfen ist.
In diesem Beitrag wird der Begriff der kontextbezogene Anwendungen erl{\"a}utert
und Anwendungen dieser Art am Beispiel existierender Systeme beschrieben und
klassifiziert. Au{\ss}erdem wird die Vision, Kontextinformationen in Form digitaler
Weltmodelle zu verwalten, dargelegt und motiviert. Schlie{\ss}lich werden die sich
aus dieser Vision ergebenden wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen diskutiert.},

of nodes leads to frequent topology changes. Existing approaches so far address
either the network partitioning problem or are capable of handling large
amounts of data, but not both at the same time. In this paper a novel approach
is presented which is based on a negotiation scheme enhanced by an adaptive
repetition strategy. Different strategies for the selection of repeated data
are presented and evaluated. Simulation results show a reduction of data
transfer volume compared to hyper-flooding by 30 to 40\% even in the presence of
frequent network partitions.},
