dtn-amazon: digital/social inclusion in the amazon region
DESCRIPTION
DTN-Amazon is a project developed in a partnership between SITILabs and Federal University of Para (UFPA/Brazil) since 2011. The main goal is to promote digital/social inclusion in the Amazon region by bringing Internet access to remote, infrastructureless locations such as the the riverside communities nearby UFPA. The project has implemented middleware solutions that are actually being experimented in a 7-node testbed at UFPA. This presentation was given in TecWeb 2013 on April 16th, 2013 at University Lusofona in Lisbon, Portugal.TRANSCRIPT

Introduction•Reasons for digital divide
– Lack of interest (politics)
– Lack of infrastructure
– Lack of knowledge(Internet/computer)
Goal• Promote Digital/Social Inclusion
– What for ?
• Assynchronous Internet Access
• Public/Safety/Health dissemination (e.g., videos on illness prevention)
– How ?
• Social-aware Opportunistic Networking
• Store-Carry-and-Forward (Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking)
– Where ?
• Riverside communities near UFPA
Definitions•Opportunistic Networking– Contact opportunity
– Social → different levels of interactions
Definitions• Delay/Disruption-Tolerant Networking
– Bundle Layer
Scenario
Solution• Opportunistic Networking Module
– Smartphones Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread
– Three components
• DTN architecture/Bundle layer
• Bluetooth Convergence Layer
• Routing: dLife, PROPHET, and Epidemic
Solution
Other applications• Campus security watch
