Virtual Discovery Network; A Distributed Data Structure for Adaptive Routing

Distributed resource discovery is a crucial problem of dynamic and mobile system task environment. Most existing discovery studies are designated for the fixed infrastructure networks. In practice, the majority of the solutions have adopted centralized design and implementation strategies to locate the pool of resources. In this research, a means of virtualized and adaptive resource discovery is presented as a key entity of the study with an analytical model and adaptive algorithms for attribute based range queries. The proposed method is evaluated and discussed analytically. In addition, a scalable resource discovery overlay network is advocated. The design and implementation of the proof of concept are deliberated.
