Large-scale smart environments (LSEs) are open and dynamic systems typically extending
over a wide area and including a huge number of interacting devices with a heterogeneous …

Opportunistic networks are a generalization of DTNs in which disconnections are frequent
and encounter patterns between mobile devices are unpredictable. In such scenarios …

Human mobility traces have drawn increasing attention in recent years due to their
usefulness for constructing mobility models and evaluating mobile opportunistic …

In opportunistic networks, the nodes usually exploit a contact opportunity to perform hop-by-
hop routing, since an end-to-end path between the source node and destination node may …

Opportunistic networks are challenged wireless networks of handheld mobile devices that
use contact opportunities to allow users to communicate without network infrastructure. The …

Analyzing ego networks to investigate local properties and behaviors of individuals is a
fundamental task in social network research. In this paper we show that there is not a unique …

In the last five years, the integration of social relationships in algorithms for Opportunistic
Networks (OppNet) has received much attention from researchers worldwide. Despite node …

In the last few years, several real-world mobility traces for opportunistic networks have been
collected in order to explore node mobility and evaluate the performance of opportunistic …

Opportunistic networks are a generalization of Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs) where
communication is challenged by frequent disconnections and encounter patterns between …

Nowadays, the increasing in the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is growing the
realization of pervasive Smart Environments (SEs) and Smart Urban Ecosystems, where all …
