Opportunistic Communication for eNetworks Cyberengineering

Within the broader context of the Adaptive Risk Management (ARM) Platform described in [27], the aim of this work is to show practically a proof of concept for a network architecture based on mobile code for Weiser's vision of ubiquitous computing [26] and opportunistic computing [22]. The proposed paradigm which animates the Opportunistic Communication Module (OCM) of the ARM Platform enhances both mobile and wireless sensor networks by leveraging on each other and will serve as a foundation for future investigation of interdependencies among heterogeneous large scale networks [7] while supporting our efforts to engineer enetworked industrial ecosystems.
