Context Delivery in Ad Hoc Networks Using Enhanced Gossiping Algorithms

The dissemination of context data across a pervasive environment has proven to be a difficult problem. Techniques using gossiping algorithms offer simplicity and flexibility but often result in poor performance with respect to timeliness of delivery and communication cost. In this ongoing-work, we present enhanced gossiping algorithms that aim to improve the efficiency of context data delivery in a decentralised manner using network and data-driven approaches.
