The work is motivated by civil protection scenarios where infrastructure based communication often breaks down in cases of emergency. We follow a basic opportunistic networking approach by making use of the smartphones' built-in WiFi hotspot functionality which in combination with the devices switching between access point and client modes facilitates the propagation of messages on a multi-hop basis. We make three contributions with respect to previous work on this topic. First, we empirically determine core boundary conditions given by the performance of modern smartphones. To maximize system performance under such circumstances we propose novel heuristics for a mode switching strategy based on client mobility instead of random strategies that have mainly been utilized so far. Finally, we compare its performance to a random role switching strategy in a large-scale simulation based on a real dataset consisting of movement traces from 28'000 people during a three day festival in Zurich. Within the simulation we investigate the influence of various parameters on the system's behavior.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129749778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, portable wireless systems are used as a temporary solution. However, these solutions have a lengthy setup, limited coverage, and typically require the use of expensive satellite backhaul. Solutions based on cognitive radio mesh networks have been proposed, to exploit self-configuration and spectrum agility. To evaluate their potential, we build a software-radio-based prototype for a multi-cell network that uses an IEEE 802.11's unlicensed wireless communication band for backhaul, and an open-source GSM stack for access. The prototype provides voice communication services. We evaluate the prototype in an open environment. We demonstrate that under the right conditions, the system can support large numbers of simultaneous calls with acceptable quality. However, when the unlicensed band is heavily used, call quality quickly degrades because of interference on the backhaul link. We conclude that in order to provide acceptable quality of service it is desirable to exploit idle licensed spectrum for backhaul communication between base stations.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122703682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the decision on how to react should be taken based on the correct judgment on the disaster situation. Nowadays ICT plays a pivotal role in the decision-making in disasters management. Particularly, the IoT technology is indispensable for information collection and analysis. Despite the rapid development in the ICT domain, the real-time analysis and response in certain emergency is still impossible. This is mainly due to the lack of computation power of thin smart objects and the vertical isolation among IoT applications. In this work, we will introduce the Connected Open plAtform for Smart objecTs (COAST) that gives smart objects, such as robots, drones and smartphones, the capability to autonomously negotiate and deploy additional resources on itself, on other objects or in the cloud. The overall goal of the COAST platform is to give the capability to smart object applications to self-adapt to the runtime context by providing an interoperable platform for real-time discovery, negotiation and on-the-fly allocation of additional resources. These resources can be provided by remote sensors, by on-demand deployment of additional - possibly 3rd party - services on the same or another smart object, or by outsourcing computation to edge cloud infrastructure tailored for high-performance and real-time computation. COAST provides the necessary platform services supporting run-time adaptation, monitoring, big data analytics. To allow the secure deployment of 3rd party application components on smart objects, the COAST provides a novel virtualization layer that supports high-performance execution through hardware accelerators. Expected performance will be reported to highlight the benefits of introducing such a platform to the IoT services in disaster management.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115587436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reconstruction is entirely based on data recorded by the information systems of the ship and demonstrates the importance of this kind of data from a scientific and forensics point of view. First the authors, three of whom have served as consultants in the trial in Grosseto, Italy, show how information stored in the Voyage Data Recorder, the so called “Black Box”, has been used to calculate the exact time and coordinates of the impact point. An accurate evaluation of these data represents a “conditio sine qua non” to ascertain the effects of the helmsman's error, who allegedly misunderstood the Master's orders just 20 seconds before the impact. Then, these effects were studied by means of a purposely developed short term manoeuvring simulator, whose results are also briefly summarized in the paper. Moreover, information stored in the hard disk of the automation system of the ship, concerning the activation of emergency source of energy, have been examined and some results are briefly reported in the paper. The most important data are those concerning the watertight doors, the passenger elevators and the Emergency Diesel Generator. According to the results of our investigations, i) the helmsman's error appears to have been determinant in the accident; ii) the emergency procedure, which started automatically after blackout of the main power source, does not appear to have performed correctly. In our opinion, both these facts could have influenced the outcome of the last phase of the ship evacuation, during which most of the victims lost their lives.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116061305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the times of mobile Internet devices, help from thousands of volunteers can be requested within a short time span, thus relieving professional helpers from minor chores or geographically spread-out tasks. However, the simultaneous availability of many volunteers also poses new problems. In particular, the volunteer efforts must be well coordinated, or otherwise situations might emerge in which too many idle volunteers at one location become more of a burden than a relief to the professionals. In this work, we study the task of optimally assigning volunteers to selected locations, e.g. in order to perform regular measurements, to report on damage, or to distribute information or resources to the population in a crisis situation. We formulate the assignment tasks as an optimization problem and propose an effective and efficient solution procedure. Experiments on real data of the Team Österreich, consisting of over 36,000 Austrian volunteers, show the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133081713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
