Special Section on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications
Andrea Passarella, Κωνσταντίνος Οικονόμου · Computer Communications · 2010
It is our great pleasure to introduce this Special Section of the Journal, focused on Autonomic and Opportunistic Communications. We strongly believe autonomic and opportunistic properties will be a key feature of the Future Mobile Internet. The huge proliferation of mobile devices with wireless networking capabilities makes it possible to foresee a Future Internet environment in which users' mobile devices will spontaneously network together and build self-organizing wireless networks for enabling users interaction and content exchange. This will be a natural enabler for the take off of User Generated Content and other user-centred networking models in the area of pervasive mobile networks.
