Mobile applications nowadays generally consist of a frontend component running on the
device, and a backend component running on the cloud that performs the larger …

The method to estimate the predictability of human mobility was proposed in Song et
al.(2010), which is extensively followed in exploring the predictability of disparate time …

Generally, routing algorithms for opportunistic networks rely on the fact that nodes are willing
to accept data from other nodes under any circumstances, but this is not the case. Selfish …

With the rapid development of intelligent devices, it is possible to communicate among
devices without base-stations. There is a growing body of research on short-range wireless …

Data dissemination in opportunistic networks poses a series of challenges, since there is no
central entity aware of all the nodes' subscriptions. Each individual node is only aware of its …

Opportunistic networks are mobile networks that rely on the store-carry-and-forward
paradigm, using contacts between nodes to opportunistically transfer data. For this reason …

Assume one has the capability of determining whether a node in a network is infectious or
not by probing it. Then problem of optimizing sentinel surveillance in networks is to identify …

Data dissemination in delay tolerant networks is an important issue due to the complexity of
a multi-hop network formed by a high number of nodes with limited resources, variable and …

The rapid growth of mobile devices in recent years has led to the rapid progress of mobile
computing. However, this has exposed certain limitations that have, first, been addressed by …

Opportunistic networks (ONs) are an extension of mobile ad hoc networks where nodes are
generally human-carried mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, which do not have a …
