Recent disasters have shown that having clearly defined preventive procedures and decisions is a critical component that minimizes evacuation hazards and ensures a rapid and successful evolution of evacuation plans. In this context, we present our Situation-Aware System for enhancing Evacuation Plans (SASEP) system, which allows creating end-user business rules that technically support the specific events, conditions and actions related to evacuation plans. An experimental validation was carried out where 32 people faced a simulated emergency situation, 16 of them using SASEP and the other 16 using a legacy system based on static signs. From the results obtained, we compare both techniques and discuss in which situations SASEP offers a better evacuation route option, confirming that it is highly valuable when there is a threat in the evacuation route. In addition, a study about user satisfaction using both systems is presented showing in which cases the systems are assessed as satisfactory, relevant and not frustrating.

After a long journey full of joys, disappointments, surprises and effort, I present this thesis work. Although the completion of my PhD studies has been the main priority these five years, it has not always been possible to dedicate sufficient time. Yet I am very satisfied with the work done and I want to express my sincere gratitude to the people without whom the completion of this work would not have been possible.First of all, I thank my advisor, Tomás Robles, for leading me through this adventure, giving me his guidance and advice, as well as bringing me courage and hopes with the results. Tomás always says that "the PhD is a long distance race, and it is oneself who has to push". However, he has helped me stay strong throughout the race, thanks to his confidence and experience.I also thank the members of my research group GISAI, from the Department of Telematics Engineering, for sharing concerns, laughs, and ideas and for working together in the same direction. Special thanks to Augusto, Sergio, Diego, Edwin and Héctor, without overlooking Angelines Villar, for all the paperwork she helped me doing, from the department secretary, always with patience and kindness.Well-deserved thanks to all the teachers I've had the pleasure to work with during this period, Carlos Ángel and Mercedes, as well as teachers from other schools who have given me their trust, Miguel Ángel Manso and Manolo Cortijo.Of course, I must acknowledge the push and support of all my friends over the last few years, with which Iʹve shared long afternoons and evenings playing Catán, Party and all the Just Dance games ever published.Finally, I dedicate this thesis to my family. To my parents Ramón and Rosa, for their unconditional support, help and sacrifice throughout my life, especially the student one, and to my brother Andrés, for his advice and good company. I cannot help but express my sincere thanks to my princess, for her patience, trust and her great devotion and love.Madrid, November 2013 vi vii AgradecimientosTras un largo camino lleno de alegrías, decepciones, sorpresas y esfuerzo, presento este proyecto de tesis.

“…Hence, one of the open issues of mobile distributed services encompasses the abstraction and distribution of group of fragments of smaller services or tasks among different mobile devices. These tasks could be created or modified on-the-fly by the own users following a prosumer methodology (R. Alcarria, Robles, Morales, Gonzalez-Miranda, & Caballero, 2013), but also modified due to changes in the network conditions (e.g. network failures and so on) in their execution, so the dependencies of these smaller tasks and their communication requirements, from both the data and control planes can change.…”

This dissertation is made up of two different but complementary research areas: Publish/Subscribe networks and mobile distributed services. Over the years, Publish/Subscribe networks have been offering the lightweight and decoupled communication characteristics to improve the information distribution in several application domains such as the execution of distributed services. Mobile distributed services are set to be deployed in wireless environments where mobile devices must rely on the same features Publish/Subscribe networks can offer; so one of the pending research directions consists of how to take advantage of these features and further advance towards new un-existing solutions that enhance the integration between mobile and fixed systems and the execution of mobile distributed services.
