+ | The dynamic nature of ambient oriented applications makes it impossible to structure them as monolithic programs with a fixed input and output. Instead, a distributed event-driven architecture is required. Current event-driven architectures require distributed application components to react to events via a carefully crafted network of observers, event handlers or callback mechanisms which are scattered throughout the application code and can be triggered at any point in time. Such architectures are hard to develop, understand and maintain in all but the most trivial cases. | ||

+ | Nomadic networks fill the gap between fixed networks and mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) as they consist of a group of mobile devices that can move around dynamically while trying to maintain a connection with a fixed infrastructure. My research focusses on the coordination of nomadic services by making use of workflows as they provide an additional layer of abstraction such that interactions among application components can be specified on a higher level and be reused because of their loose coupling with the fine-grained application logic. Unfortunately, | ||
+ | volatility. | ||
+ | |||
+ | AmbientTalk is a programming language which treats disconnections at the very heart of its computational model. Moreover, the language supports dynamic service discovery which is opportune for nomadic networks. Although this language is suited for writing applications for MANETs, the orchestration of these applications is still programmed in an ad hoc manner. Complex nomadic applications that consist of asynchronously executing distributed services become hard to develop, understand and reuse. I am currently working on the addition of an abstraction layer on top of AmbientTalk which implements | ||
+ | workflow patterns. I am investigating which new patterns for nomadic networks can be added to this abstraction layer. Concretely, I want support for intensional descriptions of services, group communication, | ||
