This paper presents a new strategy to efficiently deliver messages to influencers in social
opportunistic networks. An influencer node is an important node in the network with a high …

Recently, the new paradigm of Vehicular Social Networks (VSNs) has stimulated a lot of
interest in the research community. The rationale behind this interest relies on the …

Abstract Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs) are data types that can be used in
distributed systems when optimistic replication is tolerable. Replicas can be updated locally …

In the context of Opportunistic Networking (OppNet), designing routing and delivery
protocols is currently an open and active line of research. In some OppNet scenarios …

In the domain of opportunistic networking, just like in any other domain of computer science,
the engineering process should span all stages between an original idea and the validation …

Opportunistic networking allows mobile devices to communicate without any fixed
infrastructure, using the store-carry-and-forward principle, based on D2D (device to device) …

In the context of Opportunistic Ad Hoc Networking paradigms, group communication
schemes (Manycast) are difficult to conduct. In this article, we propose a general delivery …

This paper introduces a methodology for the development of routing algorithms that takes
into consideration opportunistic networking. The proposal focus on the rationale behind the …

In graph theory, centrality metrics give information about the importance of a node. Applied
to ad-hoc networks, as in the context of sparse dynamic networks, centrality metrics are …

The short-term adoption of opportunistic networks (OppNet) depends on improving the
current performance of this type of network. Software-Defined Networks (SDN) architecture …
