Abstract:
Application of real world sensor networks to critical rescue and aid operations is still a challenging research and development area for scientists and engineers. A ubiquitous monitoring, aid, and rescue management system, its requirements, architecture, communication protocols, algorithms, and design details are presented here. The system is designed for use by various operational purposes, organizations, individuals, and operation teams, especially by critical rescue and aid forces. With its light weight and secure communication abilities, it can be used in a variety of critical operations, ranging from disaster management to anti--terror operations. The proposed system consists of three interoperating subsystems; ubiquitous agents, intermediate message passing agents, and command control centers. The paper considers first the basic requirements and design of the overall system, and then presents a prototype implementation consisting of the three subsystems.
