Secure and Efficient Mobile Social Networks<\/h4>\n

Research Goal:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opportunistic routing research for mobile social networking applications. Allow users to interact, publish messages, and discover others that share common interests in an intermittent network using Bluetooth, Zigbee,\u00a0and other low power opportunistic wireless networks, with <\/span>peer-to-peer WiFi and infrastructure WiFi.<\/p>\n
