[004] Xi Networks ~ Business helicopter: Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Xi creates mobile Ad Hoc networks.
~ Xi drops sensors in the beginning of it's mission to reprogrammed locations
~ Xi may also drop sensors around a Base4Xi
~ Base4Xi analyzes sensor data collected by Xis sheltering inside it and orders them to drop more sensors, if necessary

[005] Xi Networks ~ Business helicopter: Challenges

Challenges:
~ Xi has been designed taking into account challenges of networks.
~ Communication with Sensors4Xi is limited to the moments when Xi is collecting sensor data
~ Xi and Base4Xi communicate using short messages while Xi is flying
~ Base4Xi receives collected sensor data from Xi after Xi has arrive to Base4Xi and a fast LAN can be used then
~ using knowledge base and reasoners Base4Xi processes sensored data; network gets filtered information for command and control

Solution:
~ in BUSINESS NET it is the Base4Xi, which filters and processes data Xis collect
