Abstract :
This paper presents the ADHOCFS file system for mobile users, which realizes transparent, adaptive file access according to the users´ specific situations (e.g., device in use, network connectivity, etc). The paper concentrates more specifically on the support of ADHOCFS for collaborative file sharing within ad hoc groups of trusted nodes that are in the local communication of each other using the underlying ad hoc network, which has not been addressed in the past.
