Abstract
Pocket switched network (PSN) communications paradigm builds on opportunistic contacts between mobile devices and human mobility to disseminate content without relying on any infrastructure. We propose MobiClique, a mobile social software that builds and maintains an ad hoc social network overlay over a pocket switched network and allows users to exchange messages between each other and groups of users sharing similar interests. We describe MobiClique implementation and initial experimental results.
