AFDAN: Accurate failure detection protocol for MANETs

In this paper, we deal with failure detection in distributed systems under mobile environment constraints. For this effect, we propose a new protocol, called AFDAN (Accurate Fault Detection Protocol for Ad hoc Network), that is in charge of monitoring the distributed application against any node failure. The simulation results of our protocol show good performances in terms of accuracy and message overhead comparing to other protocols dedicated for MANETs.
