Abstract

Declarative networking is the emerging approach for network management in ubiquitous environments. This approach abstracts the network as a distributed database and protocols as rule-based programs. The UBIQUEST project proposes to extend this approach by integrating network and application data management and by introducing declaratives global queries to full data-centric networking applications. Classical distributed optimization techniques can not be applied in our context. In this article we propose a new distributed optimization technique. NetCBR successfully exploits case-based reasoning and pseudo-random execution plan generation while allowing the personalization of optimization objectives according to application specic needs.
