Keywords: Towards a Methodology for the Development of Routing Algorithms in Opportunistic Networks

Abstract:
This paper introduces a methodology for the development of routing algorithms that takes into consideration opportunistic networking. The proposal focuses on the rationale behind the methodology, and highlights its most important stages and components. It also discusses the importance of two core elements in the process of protocol designing: the scenario selection, based on essential characteristics, and the choice of standard evaluation metrics. As of now, there has been no common methodology for developing new routing algorithms, and this has led to proposals difficult to compare, to evaluate, and lacking a rigorous objectivity ensuring fairness. Thus, there is the urgent need to propose, agree, and use a common methodology for the development of routing algorithms.
