In a dynamic network, a communication link can only be used for sending very few messages before disappearing. This happens whenever the nodes mobility is high with respect to the underlying communication protocol. Starting from these conditions, we propose design rules for distributed applications, which arises implementation rules. We then introduce the simple yet powerful Airplug framework. The Airplug Software Distribution includes several implementations conformed to the Airplug framework for prototyping, real tests or studies by emulation. It is a convenient set of tools for designing complex applications for dynamic networks. This approach has been validated by many applications and experiments, mainly in the eld of vehicular networks.
