Simulation is one of the most powerful tools we have for evaluating the performance of
opportunistic networks (OppNets). In this paper, we focus on available tools and models …

Detecting and controlling the diffusion of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 is crucial to
managing epidemics. One common measure taken to contain or reduce diffusion is to detect …

One of the strategies to control the spread of infectious diseases is based on the use of
specialized applications for smartphones. These apps offer the possibility, once individuals …

One of the key factors for the spreading of human infections, such as the COVID-19, is
human mobility. There is a huge background of human mobility models developed with the …

Challenges in relay selection for device-to-device (D2D) communication arise due to the
mobility of nodes, which brings uncertainty in various network parameters. We first …

Next-generation device-to-device (D2D) communication technology, in which a cellular
network assists proximal users at all stages of their interaction, is rapidly develo** …

Caching at the wireless edge is recognized as a promising solution to accommodate the
explosive growth of traffic demand. However, the gain of edge caching is only pronounced …

We live in a world where demand for monitoring natural and artificial phenomena is growing.
The practical importance of Sensor Networks is continuously increasing in our society due to …

Opportunistic networks can provide an alternative way to support the diffusion of information
in special locations within a city, particularly in crowded spaces, where current wireless …

Realistic mobility modeling is necessary for testing disaster management strategies as well
