Abstract :

The increase in the use of mobile devices has sparked a corresponding increase in the number of mobile applications particularly in the social space. In this paper, we present a concise survey of the evolution of Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETS) considering a variety of application-specific areas and research projects. In particular, the problems faced by the application of MANETs in social space are confronted from several architectural specific domains such as the Peer2Peer (P2P), Client-Server, and Decentralized modes. Suggestions for future improvements are equally provided in this short discourse.
