Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating and managing ad-hoc mobile computing networks. For example, a method includes discovering, by a first mobile compute node, an existence of a second mobile compute node within a geographic location monitored by the first mobile compute node, and exchanging data between the first and second mobile compute nodes to negotiate conditions for forming a cluster of a mobile ad-hoc network. The conditions include, for example, a target purpose for forming the cluster, criteria for compute node membership within the cluster, and designation of one of the first and second mobile compute nodes as a master compute node for the cluster. The cluster including the first and second mobile compute nodes is then formed based on the negotiated conditions.
