Abstract
In this work, the authors design and prototype PassItOn, a fully distributed opportunistic messaging system. Our goal is to build up a proof-of-concept platform on real mobile devices, and thus show the feasibility and potentials of utilizing human movements for dissemination applications. Meanwhile, we seek to shed lights on the design, implementation and deployment issues in building such systems, and thus stimulate new ideas and perspectives on addressing these issues. Moreover, we aim to offer a real testbed on which new mechanisms, protocols and use cases can be tested and evaluated.
