Ad hoc and sensor networks have been envisioned in a large number of application fields. Moreover, there are a growing number of real (even commercial) systems that are being built, ranging from monitoring and surveillance, to medical applications, the observation of biological and chemical processes, and disaster relief. These networks are formed by autonomous nodes that communicate via radio, without any additional a-priori infrastructure. Typically, if two nodes are not within mutual transmission range, they communicate through intermediate nodes relaying their messages. In other words, the communication infrastructure is provided by the nodes themselves. Establishing and maintaining such a virtual infrastructure is an important challenge.
