In opportunistic networks the availability of an end-to-end path is no longer required. Instead opportunistic networks may take advantage of temporary connectivity opportunities. ...
Abstract--Is the temporal dimension alone sufficient to characterize contacts in opportunistic networks? Several studies analyze the temporal aspect of contacts with significant re...

In this paper, we address the challenges of content transfer in opportunistic networks, and propose techniques to better facilitate data dissemination based on the characteristics ...
Disparate algorithms are being designed to decide certain basic questions in opportunistic networks. This position paper describes a nascent idea that aims to provide a single fra...
We introduce the notion of opportunistic networks or oppnets, some of which can be considered a subclass of the peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Initially, a relatively small seed opp...
— Opportunistic network is a type of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) where network communication opportunities appear opportunistic. In this study, we investigate opportunistic net...

So far, the search for Opportunistic Network (ON) applications has focused on urban/rural scenarios where the combined use of mobility and the store-carry-and-forward paradigm hel...
Understanding how humans move is a key factor for the design and evaluation of networking protocols and mobility management solutions in mobile networks. This is particularly true...
An opportunistic network is a type of challenged network that has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. While a number of schemes have been proposed to facilitate d...
