Policy-based Management of Ad-Hoc Enterprise Networks

Ad hoc networks are gaining more and more acceptance due to the potential of applications, the facility to deploy them as well as the cost economy in term of infrastructure. However, they introduce a lot of challenges in term of routing algorithms, QoS assurance, security, management and so on. The aim of this paper is to present a state of art of these technologies as well as the various problems it introduces. One aspect, we are addressing is the quality assurance. In the proposed approach, we aims to introduce policies in order to control the behaviour of the virtual ad hoc network so that some priority groups get more QoS then others.
