TY - CONF ID - gaito:opportunistic L3 - citeulike-article-id:5679594 N2 - So far, the search for Opportunistic Network (ON) applications has focused on urban/rural scenarios where the combined use of mobility and the store-carry-and-forward paradigm helpfully recovers from network partitions and copes with node sparsity.
