Information Services to Support E-Learning in Ad-hoc Networks

Mobile ad-hoc networks are a growing research topic. Much effort has been put into providing a technical basis for such networks. However, up to now, there has been very little work on how to facilitate integrated usage of the resources available in such a network. In this paper, we give an insight into our research on developing concepts to use the services of an ad-hoc net in an integrated, effective, and efficient manner. Our main focus lies on information services supporting e-learning applications.
