Design for change: Information-centric architecture to support agile disaster response

Abstract

This paper presents a case for the adoption of an information-centric architecture for a global disaster management system. Drawing from a case study of the 2010/2011 Queensland floods, we describe the challenges in providing every participant with relevant and actionable information. We use various examples to argue for a more flexible information dissemination framework which is designed from the ground up to minimise the effort needed to fix the unexpected and unavoidable information acquisition, quality, and dissemination challenges posed by any real disaster.

New Approach Based on Fuzzy Hypergraphs in Granular Computing (An Application to the Urban Vulnerability Assessment)

“…The classification of buildings is done in four classes in Table (6), taking into account the simultaneous impact of ten building Characteristics of Table (7). E10 2= [15][16][17][18][19][20] E10 3= [12][13][14][15] E10 4= [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] We display the set of buildings as set X as follows:…”

Named Data Networking Based Disaster Response Support System over Edge Computing Infrastructure

“…The limitation of IP-based networks compared with NDN in disaster response has been discussed in several studies [2][3][4]. There are three main advantages of NDN over IP architecture.…”

“…Because of these challenges, it is necessary to find a network solution that has mobility built-in support and enable location-independent, role-based group communication between responders. In recent years, several studies [2][3][4] have shown that Information-Centric Networking (including NDN-one of its architectures) can improve IP-based network weaknesses in providing these mentioned features in disaster. Specifically, NDN uses the content name as the main entity inside the network to route the packet instead of IP address-content location in IP-based network.…”

“…Although several studies [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] have leveraged NDN in dealing with disaster management issues, real implementation of an NDN-based architecture over existing infrastructure during a disaster is lacking. Most works' results are limited to simulation analysis.…”
