Abstract
This chapter addresses the use of gossip-based protocols in mobile ad
hoc networks. Gossip-based protocols have the advantage of requiring
little or no structure to operate, making them particularly
appealing to apply in dynamic systems such as wireless
self-organizing networks. The use of gossip-based protocols is
illustrated with three different, but related, middleware services,
namely: broadcast, publish/subscribe, and data placement.
