Abstract Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is a promising technology for next
generation communication systems. This communication paradigm facilitates ubiquitous …

The introduction of intelligent devices with short range wireless communication techniques
has motivated the development of Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANETs) during the last few …

In the last years, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained increasing attention from
both the research community and actual users. As sensor nodes are generally battery …

We consider the problem of routing in intermittently connected networks. In such networks
there is no guarantee that a fully connected path between source and destination exist at …

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have emerged as an effective solution for a wide range of
applications. Most of the traditional WSN architectures consist of static nodes which are …

We study data transfer opportunities between wireless devices carried by humans. We
observe that the distribution of the intercontact time (the time gap separating two contacts …

Opportunistic networks are one of the most interesting evolutions of MANETs. In
opportunistic networks, mobile nodes are enabled to communicate with each other even if a …

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) provide rapidly deployable and self-configuring network
capacity required in many critical applications, eg, battlefields, disaster relief and wide area …

CarTel is a mobile sensor computing system designed to collect, process, deliver, and
visualize data from sensors located on mobile units such as automobiles. A CarTel node is a …

In this paper, we address the problem of routing in intermittently connected networks. In such
networks there is no guarantee that a fully connected path between source and destination …
