Overview

The project SFE (Social-based Forwarding Evaluation) aims at studying a series of measurement results of social-based forwarding (e.g. BUBBLE) in various opportunistic network settings ranging from synthetic small world networks to real world contact networks. The measurement is done using Xen based network simulator originated from the EU FP6 Haggle project 2006-2010: Autonomic Opportunistic Communications. The complex network structures include a network with nested/hierarchical community structure, small/large number of flat community structure, scale free network character and so forth. This work identifies better forwarding strategy among different social-based forwarding algorithms in opportunistic networks. This work is part of EU FP7 RECOGNITION project and EU FP7 Socialnets project.

This project includes following tasks:

1. Implementation of social-based forwarding.
2. Building time series of synthetic networks.
3. Scale up Xen based simulator to 100s of nodes.
