Abstract
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have received significant attention from the research community recently owing to the growth in popularity of portable computing and wireless networking. While researchers have primarily focused on developing lower layer mechanisms such as channel access and routing for making MANETs operational, higher layer issues such as application modeling have largely remained ignored. In this chapter, we present a novel distributed application framework based on attributed task graphs that enables a large class of resource discovery based applications on mobile, failure-prone environments such as MANETs. A distributed application is represented as a task comprised of smaller sub-tasks that need to be performed on dierent classes of computing devices with specialized
