Overview and Goals Wireless communication technologies are undergoing rapid advancements. The past few years have experienced a steep growth in research in the area of wireless ad hoc networks. The attractiveness of ad hoc networks, in general, is attributed to their characteristics/features such as ability for infrastructure-less setup, minimal or no reliance on network planning and the ability of the nodes to self-organize and self-configure without the involvement of a centralized n- work manager, router, access point or a switch. These features help to set up a network fast in situations where there is no existing network setup or in times when setting up a fixed infrastructure network is considered infeasible, for example, in times of emergency or during relief operations. Even though ad hoc networks have emerged to be attractive and they hold great promises for our future, there are several challenges that need to be addressed. Some of the well-known challenges are attributed to issues relating to scalability, quality-of-service, energy efficiency and security.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Ad-Hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks, ADHOC-NOW 2008, held in Sophia-Antipolis, France, September 2008. The 40 revised full papers and the 15 poster presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. The papers deal with advances in Ad-Hoc networks, i.e. wireless, self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized, ever changing and the nodes may move around arbitrarily.

In this book, the focus is on the analysis and design of efficient, adaptive, and scalable routing protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. Next section presents the objective of the work performed in the context of this book. The main objective of this book is to develop routing protocols, which are appropriate for challenging environment of mobile ad-hoc networks. Given the inherent characteristics of these networks, the solutions must be adaptable to dynamic topologies, efficient with the bandwidth usage, scalable and energy efficient when various network parameters are concerned. Moreover, the focus is also on realistic approaches having relevance in real-life deployments. This means that the protocols should not be designed merely based on generic assumptions, which could lead to incorrect conclusions. Network Simulator (ns2.34) is the tools, which are used to determine that the developed algorithms are implementable in real networks. For validation in ad hoc networks, a specific scenario should also be mentioned for which the routing protocol has been designed. Meeting of these objectives includes providing the perception of the realities of ad-hoc networking. In addition, the proposed solutions should be compared against corresponding solutions found in the literature. New solutions must offer better performance with respect to others, to be able to contribute something to the research community. To summarize, the main goal of this book is to improve the knowledge in ad-hoc networking by providing solutions, which can help in developing new features for MANETs. This book will give the details of the methodology employed to achieve the goals.

First studied in social insects like ants, indirect self-organizing interactions - known as "stigmergy" - occur when one individual modifies the environment and another subsequently responds to the new environment. The implications of self-organizing behavior extend to robotics and beyond. This book explores the application of stigmergy for a variety of optimization problems. The volume comprises 12 chapters including an introductory chapter conveying the fundamental definitions, inspirations and research challenges.
