Modeling mobile agents in vehicular networks

Urra, Óscar ; Ilarri, Sergio (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Vehicular networks (VANETs) are mobile ad hoc networkswhere vehicles that are near each other can exchange data by usingwireless communications. Advances in mobile communication technolo-gies have spurred significant research in the exploitation of these types ofnetworks to develop different kinds of data services for drivers. However,these networks are also highly-dynamic and several data managementchallenges arise to realize their full potential.We have proposed the use of mobile agent technology for efficient dis-tributed query processing in VANETs. Mobile agents are software entitieswith the capability to hop among nearby cars in such a way that theycan transport themselves to the vehicles storing relevant data. In thispaper, using Petri nets, we present a formal model of our approach.
