- "This paper was first to introduce fountain coding in opportunistic, information-centric networks, for efficiently exchanging content when other network infrastructure is unavailable, e.g. in crowded events or due to natural disasters/terrorist attacks, allowing for significant social impact in such critical situations. We rigorously evaluated our approach and demonstrated that it outperforms all existing approaches. This is a development of the Digital Stadium project [1], which led to the founding of InCrowd [2] by Wakeman. Published in a leading computer networks journal (and ACM CoNEXT workshop) and cited by leading institutions, e.g. Imperial College [3].
