Summary:A method of acquiring software by a source node in a wireless ad hoc network. The method includes the source node executing application software from which a need to process a particular modality of data is identified, and making a determination that the source node is incapable of processing the particular modality of data. Responsive to the determination, the source node searches a local module repository (MR) of the source node for a software module usable to process the particular modality of data, and responsive to the source node failing to locate the software module in the local MR, broadcasts a request for the software module to neighbor nodes of the plurality of nodes in radio range of the source node. The source node receives the software module from the neighbor node, and uses the software module to process the particular modality of data.
