“…However, these studies do not consider other significant aspects, such as user security and privacy along with the limitation of operating with only the epidemic routing scheme. Various middlewares [18], [19], [20], [21], testbeds [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], and mobile applications have been developed to address providing deployable delay tolerant networking applications which can operate with minimal infrastructure and effectively evaluate DTN routing protocols.…”

Abstract-Over the past decade, online social networks (OSNs) such as Twitter and Facebook have thrived and experienced rapid growth to over 1 billion users. A major evolution would be to leverage the characteristics of OSNs to evaluate the effectiveness of the many routing schemes developed by the research community in real-world scenarios. In this demonstration, we showcase the Secure Opportunistic Schemes (SOS) middleware which allows different routing schemes to be easily implemented relieving the burden of security and connection establishment. The feasibility of creating a delay tolerant social network is demonstrated by using SOS to enable AlleyOop Social, a secure delay tolerant networking research platform that serves as a real-life mobile social networking application for iOS devices. AlleyOop Social allows users to interact, publish messages, and discover others that share common interests in an intermittent network using Bluetooth, peer-to-peer WiFi, and infrastructure WiFi.

“…Designers of social sensing services can use those APIs in order to design their system. ese APIs are based on a reliable and delay-tolerant publishsubscribe middleware [18], which allows information dissemination between nodes in a dynamic network, which is exactly the case with social sensing. publish: Cloud component can publish to a speci c topic, which serves as the medium of sending message to fog nodes.…”

Social sensing services use humans as sensor carriers, sensor operators and sensors themselves in order to provide situation-awareness to applications. is promises to provide a multitude of bene ts to the users, for example in the management of natural disasters or in community empowerment. However, current social sensing services depend on Internet connectivity since the services are deployed on central Cloud platforms. In many circumstances, Internet connectivity is constrained, for instance when a natural disaster causes Internet outages or when people do not have Internet access due to economical reasons. In this paper, we propose the emerging Fog Computing infrastructure to become a key-enabler of social sensing services in situations of constrained Internet connectivity. To this end, we develop a generic architecture and API of Fogenabled social sensing services. We exemplify the usage of the proposed social sensing architecture on a number of concrete use cases from two di erent scenarios.

CCS CONCEPTS SOCIAL SENSINGSituation-aware applications use data streams from sensors to provide useful services to users or other applications. With the proliferation of sensors deployed in the surrounding world, e.g., through the Internet of ings, the potential of such applications is reaching new dimensions. Recently, research focus has been expanded from traditional xed sensor deployments toward social sensing [1]. is comprises passive sensors provided by human carriers in Smart Phones, active human sensor operators taking pictures or videos and even humans operating as sensors themselves, e.g., providing live information in tweets and postings. Recently, new applications have been proposed which use the social sensing infrastructure to infer situations that are not detectable from traditional sensors. Application FieldsAn important application eld of social sensing is in helping people to deal with natural disasters. ere are applications that help in nding friends and family in the a ermath of a natural disaster [19]. Furthermore, social media can provide access to relevant and timely information to individuals in a ected regions [17]. Providing real-time information to disaster-a ected people about the situation in the area can help them take mitigative actions, for instance moving contents located in a ood-prone ground oor to upper oor [2] to reduce the loss caused by the disaster. Social media has been an e ective way of sharing this...

Proximity-based mobile applications are increasing in popularity. Such apps engage users while in proximity of places of interest (malls, bus stops, restaurants, theatres), but remain closed or unused after the user goes away. Since the number of 'places of interest' is constantly growing and can be large, it is impractical to install a large number of corresponding native applications on the phone when each app engages the user for only a small period of time.In this paper, we propose a dynamic framework for deploying highly-localized mobile web applications. Such web applications are deployed locally to users in proximity, and can be opened in the browser. Communication in the web app is performed over the Delay-Tolerant Network of mobile users, removing the need of an Internet connection. DTN protocols can be dynamically added or removed at run-time, allowing each application to use a protocol best suited to its needs. After usage, the web application is closed either manually by the user, or automatically when the user goes away from the place of interest.We have implemented the framework on Android. Our analysis of the framework show that the memory and performance overhead incurred is small. Using this framework, we have written a simple DTN web application for bus stops to help the physically challenged.
