Establishing content-based publish/subscribe in the resource
constrained and failure prone environment of Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks
(MANETs) is a highly challenging task. Movement of nodes and network
partitioning can require frequent and possibly expensive
reorganizations of the publish/subscribe system. Many approaches
towards publish/subscribe in MANETs either rely explicitly on
location information, or are characterized by a high subscription
and publication overhead. In this paper we present preliminary
research on how geographical distribution of subscriptions may help
to overcome some shortcomings of both approaches.
