1. A system comprising:

  • a plurality of nodes that change geographical location over time;

    a plurality of transmission links in a nearby geographical area that connect the plurality of nodes, wherein a set of the plurality of nodes communicating over said transmission links form a network and a subset of the set of the plurality of nodes form a group within the network;

    one or more applications that allow nodes to create, join and leave the network, to create, join and leave the group within the network, and to discover and communicate with other nodes within the set of the plurality of nodes; and

    wherein the nodes are configured to create, store and forward delay tolerant distributed information, wherein communication in disconnected scenarios is supported to permit transfer of the delay tolerant distributed information from a first node to a second node without a transmission path between the first node and the second node.
