Mobile Encounter Networks
• Very sparsely connected P2P networks• No multi-hop capabilities• Emerge when mobile devices come across each
other and communicate• Single information exchanges result in a diffusion of
information• Users physically carry information to other devices

Advantages and Disadvantages
+ Scalable+ Robust+ No need for infrastructure+ Free communication medium- No real-time querying because of the ”push” type of
the network- Power consumption even when not actively using the
applications

BlueCheese
• Prototype mobile encounter network middleware
• Provides applications a simple API for exchanging information with other devices running the same app
• Programmed in C++ and runs on Symbian S60 devices

Applications: Gasoline Price Comparison System
• Collects gasoline price information when a user fuels his car
• Price data is diffused to the network
• Enables users to compare the prices from several gas stations nearby
• Prototype built on top of BlueCheese

Other Application Ideas
• Other price comparison services• Joke Service• Event Service• Newspaper Service

Conclusions and Future Work
• Mobile Encounter Networks…– …are not suitable for all applications– …provide clear benefits in some
applications• Future work idea: Mobility Assisted Routing
