Nowadays, the proliferation of high-end mobile devices has enabled the possibility to create applications that pervasively cover our urban environment. However, the increasing demand for sharing and consuming information in this context requires new solutions able to sustain mobile-to-mobile communication. We envision a scenario where communication among mobile users is supported by opportunistic solutions, exploited to transfer data from a source user to a location. In this context, we propose a solution to geo-anchor data to a specific location through replication and bouncing among mobile users in the area. The rationale is that while users come and go, the data should remain anchored for a certain period of time or until the intended recipient(s) consume them. In this paper, we sketch our proposal and provide a preliminary analysis of its modus operandi.

Abstract
Nowadays, the proliferation of high-end mobile devices has enabled the possibility to create applications that pervasively cover our urban environment. However, the increasing demand for sharing and consuming information in this context requires new solutions able to sustain mobile-to-mobile communication. We envision a scenario where communication among mobile users is supported by opportunistic solutions, exploited to transfer data from a source user to a location. In this context, we propose a solution to geo-anchor data to a specific location through replication and bouncing among mobile users in the area. The rationale is that while users come and go, the data should remain anchored for a certain period of time or until the intended recipient(s) consume them. In this paper, we sketch our proposal and provide a preliminary analysis of its modus operandi.Pubblicazioni consigliate
