TY - JOUR TI - Towards the design of a social-inspired module for the decision making of nodes in an ad hoc network PY - 2016 issn 1692-5238 AB - This article presents the state of the art derived from a research project where the construction of a software module related with the capability of the wireless nodes to decide whether or not to enter an ad hoc network, is proposed. If the decision is to enter, the amount of resources needed to provide the net is assessed by analyzing data provided for the network about the resources available and the number of nodes and internal parameters (CPU, hard disk, and processor, among others) through a mathematical model. The module developed should interact with an interpreter at a lower level and with a higher level entity, a distributed system. The research is supported by the computational system of the TLÖN group of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, where its main purpose is to study the application of a social-inspired paradigm in ad hoc networks.
