SUMMARY:Revisiting MANETs in 2021 - Marco Caballero (University of Cambrid

DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are decentralised s
 ystems in which all nodes collaborate to forward data for each other. They
  were heavily studied in the 1990s and early 2000s\, resulting in a pletho
 ra of network protocols and architectures. Interest in these networks has 
 been renewed in recent years by applications such as Amazon Sidewalk\, Dro
 ne Swarms\, Self-driving cars etc. However\, the creation of most of these
  protocols precedes the commercial adoption of the smartphone. Can the tec
 hnological context of the time influence the design of network protocols?\
 nJoin me in this talk where I’ll give an overview of the work I did duri
 ng my PhD and re-evaluate the design of MANET routing protocols for emergi
 ng applications.\n\nBio:\nI am a finishing PhD student in the Systems Rese
 arch Group at University of Cambridge\, working under the supervision of P
 rofessor Jon Crowcroft. My research here focuses on enhancing the scalabil
 ity and resiliency of wireless ad-hoc networks. Previously\, I was a softw
 are engineer for about a decade\, working for Oracle in the database sched
 uler and for Microsoft in the SQL Server Build team.
