Mobile devices can establish mobile ad-hoc networks in a self-organizing manner without utilizing any fixed communication infrastructure, such as mobile radio networks or the Internet.

The DFG Priority Program aims to develop suited methods and mechanisms for providing proper middleware in such environments.
