| Abstract | Social network is a service or application that allows users to form a network of the relationship between people where user can share information and communicate with others. In this thesis, we propose to design a social network on mobile ad hoc network, called SocMANET, which is a completely decentralized peer-to-peer application. Providing social network service in MANET, SocMANET allows users to interact and communicate with one another without relying on any central server, infrastructure network and internet connection. SocMANET requires almost no configuration and can be used for sending short announcements or group messaging thus suitable for emergency disasters scenario, where network infrastructure and internet access are unavailable. The application can work in peer-to-peer network by using SMON which is an overlay network platform that provides the resource lookup mechanism in the overlay network. Distributed storage is an important module in the application which implemented using this SMON functionality to provide distributed data sharing in the system. SMON and distributed storage are also making the implementation of peer-to-peer SIP possible without using centralized SIP server. SocMANET is designed to provide emergency information dissemination for post-disaster communication. Thus, it is assumed that SocMANET is intended to work for mobile ad hoc networks of mobile devices, such as small netbooks with limited battery capacity and lower processing power than normal computer. It can disseminate short messages by relaying information to the intermediate nodes where the information can be retrieved by the destination which was disconnected while the information is being sent. Its performance is thus evaluated in terms of the power or CPU consumption and the information dissemination capabilities. |
