The widespread availability of mobile devices along with recent
advancements in networking capabilities make opportunistic mobile
social networks (MSNs) one of the most promising technologies for
next-generation mobile applications. Opportunistic Mobile Social
Networks supplies a new perspective of these networks that can help
you enhance spontaneous interaction and communication among users
that opportunistically encounter each other, without additional
infrastructure support.
The book explores recent developments in the theoretical,
algorithmic, and application-based aspects of opportunistic MSNs.
It presents the motivation behind opportunistic MSNs, describes
their underpinning and key concepts, and also explores ongoing
research.
- Supplies a systematic study of the constrained information flow
problem
- Reviews the recent literature on social influence in complex
social networks
- Presents a complete overview of the fundamental characteristics
of link-level connectivity in opportunistic networks
- Explains how mobility and dynamic network structure impact the
processing capacity of opportunistic MSNs for cloud
applications
- Provides a comprehensive overview of the routing schemes
proposed in opportunistic MSNs
Taking an in-depth look at multicast protocols, the book
explains how to provide pervasive data access to mobile users
without the support of cellular or Internet infrastructures.
Considering privacy and security issues, it surveys a collection of
cutting-edge approaches for minimizing privacy leakage during
opportunistic user profile exchange.
The book concludes by introducing a framework for mobile peer
rating using a multi-dimensional metric scheme based on encounter
and location testing. It also explains how to develop a network
emulation test bed for validating the efficient operation of
opportunistic network applications and protocols in scenarios that
involve both node mobility and wireless communication.
