In this project, the fundamental limits and possibilities of a dynamic network of mobile nodes shall be examined for a selected system under various conditions in order to evaluate its applicability and performance. As a prerequisite, it is assumed that there are tasks that the mobile devices can complete cooperatively such as collecting and aggregating data. After having processed this data, the nodes can distribute the results to other nodes interested in these results. This procedure describes a collaborative, participatory, and cooperative sensing and is often referred to as mobile cloud computing nowadays. The challenge of this project is to reliably carry out the distributed computation with the help of this system under varying operating conditions with moving nodes and high churn.
