Mobility Modeling for Personal Networks [PDF]

Wireless Personal Communications, 2009
A Personal Network (PN) is a user-centric design interconnecting numerous devices belonging to a user in different geographic locations, such as home, office, car, etc., to form a single global network to offer fully personalized services. In PNs devices of the user move in different groups, where these groups merge and split.

Securing Personal Network clusters [PDF]

2007 Third International Conference on Security and Privacy in Communications Networks and the Workshops - SecureComm 2007, 2007
A Personal Network is a self-organizing, secure and private network of a user’s devices notwithstanding their geographic location. It aims to utilize pervasive computing to provide users with new and improved services. In this paper we propose a model for securing Personal Network clusters.
