Disconnected mobile ad hoc networks (or D-MANETs) are partially or intermittently connected wireless networks in which instant end-to-end connectivity between any pair of mobile hosts is never guaranteed. Recent advances in delay/disruption-tolerant networking make it possible to support communication in such conditions, but designing and implementing distributed applications for D-MANETs is still a challenging task. Middleware systems such as the Java Message Service (JMS) have made application development easy and cost-effective in traditional wired networks. In this paper, we introduce JOMS (Java Opportunistic Message Service), a JMS provider specifically designed for D-MANETs, and with which pre-existing or new JMS-based applications can be easily deployed in such networks.
