Resource aggregation in an opportunistic network

A wireless opportunistic network that can facilitate resource aggregation by way of interconnected devices is disclosed. In accordance with this opportunistic network, a mobile device can effectively 'dock' into the network thereby enabling resources to be shared between devices within the network. In this manner, the docked mobile device can leverage resources available in each of the individual devices of the network. This functionality can be used in many scenarios related to health, from monitoring patients and analyzing basic diagnostic data to identifying bioterrorism by way of collaborating resources between devices within the network.
