Abstract

In our doctoral proposal we deploy Sporadic Ad-hoc Networks (SANs) over the devices of a group of always-on users who happen to meet in a place. The goal is to develop tailor-made services that exploit the possible similarities among the preferences of the users and the technological capabilities of their terminals to establish direct and hop-by-hop ad-hoc communications. In order to overcome the intrinsic limitations of mobile devices, we explore the new concept of Sporadic Cloud Computing (SCC) that is aimed at providing each terminal with additional resources by exploiting the (computational, networking, storing...) capabilities of the rest of devices connected to the SAN. In order to abstract the complexity stemmed from the mobility scenarios, SCC works with an enhanced Virtualization Layer that deals with a few static virtual nodes instead of a higher number of mobile real nodes. This allows to turn our SANs into reliable and stable communication environments to promote interactions among potentially like-minded strangers in a great diversity of mobility scenarios, involving both pedestrians and cars in vehicular environments.
