| Abstract | Opportunistic networking based on hand-held mobile devices is turning into a viable and efficient opportunity to locate, collect, route and share information within a swarm of collaborative nodes. In this paper we consider mobile (pedestrian and cars) and fixed terminals in a urban area that are interested in collecting the information originated from several sources. In particular, each terminal aims at retrieving the data items in a limited region of interest centered around the node position. Since data items may change over time all nodes must strive for having access to the latest version. Furthermore, for mobile terminals the region of interest is a time varying concept due to the dynamic behavior of nodes. The goal of the paper is to evaluate the amount of information each node is able to gather resorting to simple distributed data collection and sharing through opportunistic communications among neighboring nodes. In particular, we analyze the impact of node density, different mix of cars and pedestrian, and amount of node memory. Moreover, we evaluate the improvement of using location aware memory management policies as well as the effect of adding a few ideal nodes whose mobility is described by an unconstrained Brownian motion. To this end we develop a simulator based on mobility and radio propagation traces obtained from the UDelModels tools. The preliminary findings highlight that simple location aware memory management schemes effectively exploit nodes with limited amount of memory. Furthermore, increasing randomness of nodes movement has a beneficial impact on the average performance of all node types. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
