چکیده

We present an overview of our group communication system, ChickWeed, for opportunistic networking environments. Opportunistic networking is characterized by sporadic and intermittent connections between wireless devices, such as may arise when embedded devices are carried by humans. ChickWeed is a distributed persistent object store that exploits these connection opportunities through an opportunistic gossiping mechanism. ChickWeed provides the ability for these devices to efficiently and securely share data without requiring access to any infrastructure.

Opportunistic Networking: Mobility Modeling and Content Distribution

We have witnessed two main trends in recent years that have shaped the current state of communication networks. First, the Internet was designed with the initial idea to provide remote access to resources in the network; today it is overwhelmingly being used for content distribution. In addition, the community of content creators has evolved from a small group of professionals into a global com...

Analysis of Opportunistic Networks based on Realistic Network Traces

Opportunistic network is a type of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) where network communication opportunities appear opportunistic, an end-to-end path between source and destination may have never existed, and disconnection and reconnection is common in the network. With numerous emerging opportunistic networking applications, strategies that can enable effective data communication in such challen...

Impact of Human Behavior on Social Opportunistic Forwarding

The current Internet design is not capable to support communications in environments characterized by very long delays and frequent network partitions. To allow devices to communicate in such environments, delay-tolerant networking solutions have been proposed by exploiting opportunistic message forwarding, with limited expectations of end-to-end connectivity and node resources. Such solutions ...
