Motivations

Popularity of mobile devices and

ubiquitous environments

Emergence of self-organized or ad hoc

communication paradigm

Attractiveness of multiplayer gaming as a

leisure time activity, and a ‘big’ business MUGAN - Multiplayer Games in Mobile Ad Hoc

Networks

  • Collaborative work ⇒ Distributed software applications
  • On-demand, automatic and quick service deployment

and management

  • Sample situation – during project meetings

Edutainment

  • Collaborative studying and entertainment ⇒ Distributed

software and multimedia applications

  • On-demand, automatic and quick service deployment

and management

  • Sample situation – during university courses

Objectives

Develop a reusable service provisioning

middleware

Develop an appropriate game architecture for

mobile ad hoc environment

Adapt an existing multiplayer game Develop and implement a new, prototype, mobile

ad hoc multiplayer game

Further objectives

  • Integrate fixed-infrastructure networks
  • Integrate security and fairness mechanisms
  • Integrate context awareness
  • Develop a detailed business model appropriate for

mobile ad hoc gaming

Expected Results/Benefits

Technical

  • Research in mobile ad hoc networking from the

Applications’ perspectives ⇒ Practical research results, efficient use of underlying resources

  • Reusable service provisioning framework containing

common useful services

– Service naming, description, discovery – Service deployment – Service management – Security and fairness

  • Robust game architecture ⇒ Make possible multiplayer

gaming in mobile ad hoc networks

  • Technical solutions for combining fix and ad hoc

networks, even on the Application layer

Expected Results/Benefits (cont’d)

Social

  • New ways of gaming ⇒ New ways of social interactions

– Mobile ad hoc gaming – Context aware games

Economical

  • Direct income for game developers
  • New services through integrating fixed-infrastructure

networks ⇒ New income possibilities even for third parties (e.g., game service providers, terminal vendors, network operators)

  • Urge towards new business solutions ⇒ New markets,

new business models
