Emergency communication networks provide the basis for preparing for, and responding to, manmade and natural disasters. With the increasing importance of information security, emergency network operators such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs), local and national governmental agencies, and traditional network operators must deal with the possibility of sabotage and hacking of such networks. A network interdiction modeling approach is proposed that can be utilized for planning purposes in order to identify and protect critical parts of the network infrastructure. These critical nodes or links represent opportunities where investment or "hardening" of such infrastructure may reduce or prevent reductions in network traffic flows created by nefarious actors prior, during, or after an emergency or disaster.

“…Traditionally ECS responders are using PTT service for their communication and unfortunately the various ERA used communication technologies lacks interoperability. Approaching this scenario from a networking perspective, different responder teams form independent Mobile Ad-hoc NETworks [10] (MANETs) A MANET is a type of network, which is typically composed of peer nodes. When the nodes are located within the same radio range, they can communicate directly with each other using wireless links.…”

Abstract. In emergency and crisis situations (ECS) like earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, it is very important that communication facilities are operative to provide services both to rescue teams and civilians. In ECS it is very common that communication premises are often unable to provide services, either due to physical damages or traffic overload. In such a case there is the need for rapid reestablishment of communication services. In this paper the communication services that can be exploited for ECS mitigation are discussed. The usage scenarios of such services are studied. Following that and looking from a network perspective view an ECS communication network architecture is presented. This architecture aims to provide seamless interoperability of varies communication technologies often present in ECS

“…In those cases, an ad-hoc network, with support for service/resource discovery, could be quickly set up to support the command and control needs of the rescue and recovery teams [38]. Missioncritical data exchanged among rescuers and toward the headquarter should grant an efficient and quick coordination using a combination of wireless network technologies and discovery applications to meet typical constraints of unpredictable and unreliable scenarios [39]. In the last few years new approaches to disaster/recovery (d/r) are addressing the possibility to provide assistance in areas damaged by calamities thanks to autonomous robots opportunely organized in teams [40].…”

Semantic-based resource discovery, composition and substitution in IEEE 802.11 mobile ad hoc networks

We present a general framework for resource discovery, composition and substitution in mobile ad-hoc networks, exploiting knowledge representation techniques. Key points of the proposed approach are: (1) reuse of discovery information at network layer in order to build a fully unified semantic-based discovery and routing framework; (2) use of semantic annotations in order to perform the orchestration of elementary resources for building personalized services adopting a concept covering procedure, and to allow the automatic substitution of no more suitable/available components. Using ns-2 simulator, we evaluated performances of the proposed framework with reference to a disaster recovery scenario. In particular, the impact of the number of available services and active clients has been investigated in various mobility conditions and for several service covering threshold levels. Obtained results show that: (1) the proposed framework is highly scalable, given that its overall performance is improved by increasing the number of active clients; (2) the traffic load due to clients is negligible; (3) also for a very small number of available service providers very high hit ratios can be reached; (4) increasing the number of providers can lead to hit ratios very close to 100% at the expense of an increased traffic load. Finally, the effectiveness of cross-layer interaction between routing and resource discovery protocols has been also evaluated and discussed.
