Abstract :
This paper discusses an approach to seamless hybrid connectivity bridging infrastructure-centric and ad-hoc networks to autonomically maximize the potential for sustained connectivity for terminal device users and their services. The architecture and functional attributes of a hybrid connectivity manager are described, and illustrated through deployment in an incident scenario where rescue workers require seamless hybrid connectivity to support sustained collaboration. The HCM extends an existing technology, the living systems connection agent for seamless vertical handover between infrastructure networks, with support for ad-hoc connections, and employs a policy-based logic engine a software-agent autonomic controller.
