The existing naming schemes for pooling resources are suitable only for static networks. We propose dynamic survivable resource pooling (DSRP) that provides a survivable naming scheme to the pool users in mobile ad-hoc networks. DSRP dynamically places the name servers (NSs) on a virtual backbone (VB): a highly distributed, scalable, and survivable mesh network formed and maintained through one-hop beacons. In this paper, DSRP focuses on pooling resources such as servers and services that are common in robotics and battlefield applications. It provides an abstraction of all the functionally equivalent servers, whereby the client can access these servers as a single entity, termed server pool. A distributed backbone mesh of NSs is used to propagate service registrations, requests, and replies.
