The exponential growth on the number of mobile devices and their capabilities are leveraging new possibilities of networking architectures for processing, storing, and exchanging of information. At a glance, existing architectures take advantage of these devices, the social behavior of their users, and/or the dynamicity on resource usage. Despite of the potential of existing initiatives, they do not interoperate which reduce their applications and deployment. As we walk towards a very dynamic world (regarding the user needs and characteristics, the information traversing the network, and the networking capability to adapt), these architectures should merge into a solution that fits any type of scenario. In this paper, we specify an opportunistic, socially-driven, self-organizing, cloud networking architecture using a future Internet proposal named NovaGenesis. We highlight the requirements and solutions that NovaGenesis brings in to accommodate the inherent challenges of today’s dynamic networking scenario, describing a convergent architecture, which integrates the new requirements with the already implemented NovaGenesis features.
