We describe the challenges, design decisions, and implementation details behind a proof-of-concept application that uses social networking to demonstrate the feasibility behind Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) principles. For the main platform, we use DTN2, an implementation of DTN protocols designed for experimentation, production, and deployment. Although this application is specific to Twitter, it is easily modifiable to adapt to other social networks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
