Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a class of emerging networks that are subject to frequent and long-duration partitions. Due to intermittent connectivity, DTNs might be significantly limited in supporting application ...

Offloading computation-intensive components of mobile applications to the cloud is of great potential to speedup the execution and reduce the energy consumption for mobile devices. The gain from computation offloading ...

Message ferrying is a technique for routing data in wireless and mobile networks in which one or more mobile nodes are tasked with storing and carrying data between sources and destinations. To achieve connectivity between ...

Disruption tolerant networks (DTNs) are wireless mobile networks that are characterized by frequent partitions and long delays. Such networks can be used in highly-challenged environment in which energy resources are ...

The Internet faces well-known challenges in realizing modifications to the core architecture. To help overcome these limitations, virtual networks run over physical networks and use Internet paths and protocols as ...

The opportunistic or disruption tolerant networking (DTN) paradigm shows up in a variety of settings, from military to disasters to the developing world to deep space; anywhere that fixed infrastructure is either ...
