abstract = {The background theme of this project is the social-based forwarding in opportunistic network, so, broadly speaking, we are facing the problem of delivery or acquire a content in an infrastructure-free scenario composed by a multitude of mobile-device (typically carried by humans) by exploiting what we know about social relationship between devices/humans with respect to their movements and their consequential physical contacts. This class of problems were one of the topics in SOCIALNETS: Social networking for pervasive adaptation, an European FP7-ICT research project which investigated this kind of problems and produced several prototypes spendable in infrastructure-free scenario. In particular, we are focusing in a subtopic treated during this project: algorithms for social-based forwarding in opportunistic, delay tolerant network. Several algorithms have been evaluated during the course of SOCIALNETS and an interesting fact we have noted is that performed experiments were mainly based on emulation approaches, so due to the notorious difficulty of collecting this kind of data, in fact collecting process involved lot of people and required from days to years, we consider interesting to experiment this kind of algorithm in a simulated environment, trying to adopt proper mobility models in order to obtain realistic performance measurement. The reference paper for this class project is BUBBLE Rap: Social-based Forwarding in Delay Tolerant Networks},
