One of the most striking properties of the Internet is its flexibility to accommodate features it
was not conceived for. Among the most significant examples, in this survey we consider the …

In opportunistic networks the existence of a simultaneous path is not assumed to transmit a
message between a sender and a receiver. Information about the context in which the users …

In opportunistic networks, end-to-end communication among users does not require a
continuous end-to-end path between source and destination. Network protocols are …

This chapter describes various existing real-life applications and case studies of
opportunistic networks. Opportunistic networks are also applied to interdisciplinary projects …

Opportunistic networking is an evolution of the classic mobile ad hoc network (MANET).
Traditional MANET routing protocols are not able to perform eventual transmission due to …

In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of a full ad hoc network architecture
with particular attention to routing and middleware layers. In particular we set up a MANET …

Middleware is a critical foundation needed to leverage the development of a wide range of
mobile and ubiquitous applications. Intrinsic challenges when building such middleware …

A link between a pair of nodes is defined unstable if it is characterized by a packet loss
which is not negligible in one or both directions. The presence of unstable links in multihop …

Opportunistic network does not rely on any pre-existing infrastructure and no assumption is
made on the existence of a complete path between source and destination. The …

In opportunistic networks end-to-end communication between users does not require a
continuous end-to-end path between source and destination. Network protocols are …
