Tuple board: A New distributed computing paradigm for mobile ad hoc networks
Abstract
Owners of wireless mobile computing devices (like laptop PCs and PDAs) need to share information with other nearby devices. Examples include calendars, photos, music, or mall shopping directories. The tuple board is a paradigm and a middleware for developing mobile information sharing applications. One device posts notices ("tuples") on a virtual bulletin board; other devices can search for and read posted tuples.
