Abstract
Class 2 opportunistic networks (oppnets) are a new paradigm for Collaborative Computing that aims at integrating communication, computation, sensing, actuation, storage, and other resources and services. Oppnets achieve global tasks and goals through the collaboration and coordination of their nodes (some of which join an oppnet dynamically). We describe the concept of oppnets, discuss related work, and present the standard API framework for oppnets name Oppnet Virtual Machine (OVM). We present the design and implementation details of a small-scale proof-of-concept system, named MicroOppnet, in terms of the OVM primitives. We describe both the design and implementation of MicroOppnet, which not only is a proof of concept but also constitutes our tool for experiments in collaborative computing with oppnets. We are currently working on extending MicroOppnet into a larger oppnet prototype and an oppnet testbed.
