This paper presents a document-oriented model for information dissemination in dynamic ad hoc networks, such as those composed of highly mobile and volatile communicating devices (e.g. laptops and PDAs). This model relies on an asynchronous, peer-to-peer propagation scheme where documents can be cached on intermediate devices, and be later sent again –either spontaneously or on demand– in the network.
