Abstract

A main challenge for applications in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) is to survive link and node failures. One approach to overcome volatility of MANETs is to evaluate the reliability of communication peers allowing to choose the most reliable instances and to estimate the risk of failure before using a remote service. We present an approach that integrates discovery and reliability evaluation of group service providers. A group service provider is a node providing a service which is used by a group of nodes simultaneously.
