ABSTRACT
Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs), just like any other computer network, need to be managed. However, until now little was achieved in the research for specific management solutions for DTNs, due to the fact that these networks are still in their infancy. In this paper we present some initial steps in the development of a management architecture for Delay-Tolerant Emergency Networks (DTENs), which is a specific case of DTN. Among the design definitions of our architecture, we can cite the use of the policy continuum concept, the division of the network into groups and the need for autonomic control loops to implement local management functions.

Selective Message Forwarding in Delay Tolerant Networks
It is challenging to deliver messages in a network where no instant end-to-end path exists, so called delay-tolerant network (DTN). Node encounters are used for message forwarding. In this paper, we propose a DTN routing protocol SMART. SMART utilizes ...
Betweenness centrality in Delay Tolerant Networks
Dynamic networks, in particular Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), are characterized by a lack of end-to-end paths at any given instant. Because of that, DTN routing protocols employ a store-carry-and-forward approach, holding messages until a suitable ...
Look-Ahead Routing and Message Scheduling in Delay-Tolerant Networks
Routing is one of the most challenging development issues in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) because of lack of continuous connection. Existing routing schemes for DTNs provide best effort service, but are unable to optimize QoS and support message ...
