and are able to handle all types of data, both
critical and non-critical. The research includes
hybridization of ad-hoc communications by
intelligently defining geographic zones in
which multi-hop broadcast and store-and-
forward dissemination are preferable, thus
combining strengths of the two schemes and
eliminating their weaknesses.
Data dissemination in Vehicular Ad hoc
NETworks (VANETs) is a key research area with
applications that range from safety to traffic
flow information to weather reports and related
information. Delivering data with maximum
efficiency and accuracy to a wide area is
the focus of research in data dissemination
protocols. Data propagation methods preferred
for these specialized ad hoc networks fall under
two mutually exclusive categories namely
store-and-forward and multi-hop broadcasts.
Store-and-forward generally consumes less
bandwidth than multi-hop broadcast but
propagates information more slowly. The
goal of this project is to develop efficient
solutions to the data dissemination problem
that are broader in scope than previous works
