Optimizing Dynamic Network Configurations

INTRODUCTION The Sami Network Connectivity (SNC) project has a primary goal to provide Internet connectivity to The Sami population in northern Scandinavia (Doria, 2004). They live as a nomadic people in sparsely populated wilderness areas where little connectivity is available. Since the area has a high level of protection from fixed installations and other man-made features, internet connection is proposed to be solved using a Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) with mobile routers. Research in for example probabilistic routing protocols and geographic modeling is preformed within the project.
