This research proposal summarizes work done on developing EMI/RFI shielding materials and proposes further research on storing and safely transmitting information data. The proposal discusses how advances in information technology require better data security, including electromagnetic security measures. The researcher's past work involved developing EMI shielding materials. Their interest is in semiconductors, optoelectronics, and microwave devices and technology. The proposed research aims to study data storage, protection, and transmission while meeting security and privacy needs.
This document discusses the concept of "black swan" events, which are highly improbable events that are unpredictable, have large impacts, and are often misunderstood. It notes that over 85% of business information is unstructured data, and decisions cannot leverage all available information if focused only on 15% of structured data. It also emphasizes that rigid forecasts leave organizations inflexible, and leaders are better served practicing "active analysis" to ensure the ability to respond to unpredictable events. The document summarizes that clearly defined rules do not exist, so accurately predicting future black swans is impossible without knowing future uncertainty.
Performance Analysis of Communication Protocols for Post Disaster CommunicationAM Publications,India
Natural and catastrophic disasters can cause damage to the communication system, the damage may be complete or it may be partial. In such areas communication and exchange of information plays a very important role and become difficult to happen in such situations. So, the rescue systems should be installed in those areas for the rescue operations and to take important decisions about how to make a connection from there to the outside world. Wireless communication network architecture should be setup in disaster areas for the communication to happen and to gather information. In this document, wireless ad-hoc access node network architecture has been proposed. These access nodes acts as hotspot for certain area in which they are set up such that the Wi-Fi capable devices get connected to them for communication to happen. If the mobile battery is drained in such situations wireless charging using microwave is shown in this paper. Performance analysis of the communication transport layer protocols is shown and new-SCTP algorithm is developed which shows the better results in terms of cumulative packet loss.
A Concept For Support Of Firefighter Frontline CommunicationAngel Evans
This document discusses communication challenges faced by firefighters during indoor missions and proposes a concept for a new communication assistance system. It finds that current radio systems often fail, disrupting coordination. Firefighters also find radios distracting and stressful to use. The concept proposes a system with 3 key features: 1) a robust ad-hoc network to ensure connectivity, 2) telemetry and text messaging for implicit feedback instead of radio calls, and 3) implicit interaction to reduce communication demands on firefighters. The goal is a system that improves situational awareness for commanders while reducing communication burdens during missions.
The document discusses context awareness in building management. It describes context awareness as a system's ability to remain aware of its environment and adapt based on contextual information from various sources, like sensors. The key topics discussed are:
1) Context awareness is important for building management as it allows systems to assist occupants by automatically optimizing conditions like HVAC, lighting, and security based on contextual data.
2) Realizing full context awareness requires enhanced data sources, availability, and context models to integrate information from various building systems and sensors.
3) The project aims to enable context awareness in buildings by using wireless sensor networks to monitor contextual data and support integrated building management and automation.
The document discusses the development of a global sensor network for natural disaster warnings. It describes how sensors can detect disasters like earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis and transmit that information to save lives and property. However, most countries still rely on human senses to detect disasters rather than extensive sensor networks. The document outlines challenges to developing a global sensor network like difficulties sharing information across borders and lack of standardized systems. It highlights progress by organizations like the Open Geospatial Consortium to develop open standards to facilitate sensor data sharing and hopes this will lead to sensor networks that reduce disaster impacts worldwide.
IMPLEMENTATION OF A CONTEXT-AWARE ROUTING MECHANISM IN AN INEXPENSIVE STANDAL...IJCNCJournal
Natural disasters often destroy and disrupt communication infrastructures that hinder the utilization of disaster applications and services needed by emergency responders. During these circumstances an implementation of a standalone communication system (SCS) that serves as an alternative communication platform for vital disaster management activities is essential. In this study, we present a design and implementation of an SCS realized using an inexpensive microcontroller platform. Specifically, the study employed Raspberry Pi (RPi) devices as rapidly deployable relay nodes designed with a context-aware routing mechanism. The routing mechanism decides the most efficient route to send messages or disseminate information in the network by utilizing a context-aware factor (CF) calculated using several context information such as delivery probability and link quality. Moreover, with the use of this context information, the proposed scheme aims to reduce communication delay and overhead in the network commonly caused by resource contention of users. The performance of the proposed SCS, was evaluated in a small-area case-scenario deployment using a messaging application and web-based monitoring service. Additionally, a simulation-based performance analysis of the proposed context-aware routing mechanism applied to an urban area map was also conducted. Furthermore, in the simulation, the proposed scheme was compared to the most commonly used Flooding and AODV schemes for SCS. Results show a high delivery probability, faster delivery time (low latency) and reduced message overhead when using the proposed approach compared with the other routing schemes.

Use of network forensic mechanisms to formulate network securityIJMIT JOURNAL
Network Forensics is fairly a new area of research which would be used after an intrusion in various
organizations ranging from small, mid-size private companies and government corporations to the defence
secretariat of a country. At the point of an investigation valuable information may be mishandled which
leads to difficulties in the examination and time wastage. Additionally the intruder could obliterate tracks
such as intrusion entry, vulnerabilities used in an entry, destruction caused, and most importantly the
identity of the intruder. The aim of this research was to map the correlation between network security and
network forensic mechanisms. There are three sub research questions that had been studied. Those have
identified Network Security issues, Network Forensic investigations used in an incident, and the use of
network forensics mechanisms to eliminate network security issues. Literature review has been the
research strategy used in order study the sub research questions discussed. Literature such as research
papers published in Journals, PhD Theses, ISO standards, and other official research papers have been
evaluated and have been the base of this research. The deliverables or the output of this research was
produced as a report on how network forensics has assisted in aligning network security in case of an
intrusion. This research has not been specific to an organization but has given a general overview about
the industry. Embedding Digital Forensics Framework, Network Forensic Development Life Cycle, and
Enhanced Network Forensic Cycle could be used to develop a secure network. Through the mentioned
framework, and cycles the author has recommended implementing the 4R Strategy (Resistance,
Recognition, Recovery, Redress) with the assistance of a number of tools. This research would be of
interest to Network Administrators, Network Managers, Network Security personnel, and other personnel interested in obtaining knowledge in securing communication devices/infrastructure. This research provides a framework that can be used in an organization to eliminate digital anomalies through network forensics, helps the above mentioned persons to prepare infrastructure readiness for threats and also enables further research to be carried on in the fields of computer, database, mobile, video, and audio.

It is intended to provide details about fire simulation tools with features, suitable hardware, communication methods, and effective user interface.
A GENERIC FRAMEWORK FOR DEVICE PAIRING IN UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTSIJNSA Journal
Recently secure device pairing has had significant attention from a wide community of academic as well as industrial researchers and a plethora of schemes and protocols have been proposed, which use various forms of out-of-band exchange to form an association between two unassociated devices. These protocols and schemes have different strengths and weaknesses – often in hardware requirements, strength against various attacks or usability in particular scenarios. From ordinary user’s point of view, the problem then becomes which to choose or which is the best possible scheme in a particular scenario. We advocate that in a world of modern heterogeneous devices and requirements, there is a need for mechanisms that allow automated selection of the best protocols without requiring the user to have an in-depth knowledge of the minutiae of the underlying technologies. Towards this, the main argument forming the basis of this research work is that the integration of a discovery mechanism and several pairing schemes into a single system is more efficient from a usability point of view as well as security point of view in terms of dynamic choice of pairing schemes. In pursuit of this, we have proposed a generic system for secure device pairing by demonstration of physical proximity. The contributions presented in this paper include the design and prototype implementation of the proposed framework along with a novel Co-Location protocol.
The document discusses Next Century's core competencies including mobile computing, GIS and mapping, data presentation and visualization, signal processing, data fusion and aggregation, image processing, and IT infrastructure and support. It then summarizes several projects including WISER, MASTIF, WRAP, an advanced visualization tool, a threat warning system, advanced image recognition R&D, CERTAS, TORA, and Performance DNA Desktop.
This document discusses using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled Internet of Things (IoT) platform for disaster management, specifically wildfire management. It proposes a framework with three main components: 1) a ground IoT network to detect and monitor fires, 2) communication technologies for connectivity between ground and aerial networks, and 3) data analytics. It highlights challenges including limited energy, spectrum resources, and regulations. It also discusses using a named data networking (NDN) architecture for the ground IoT network to improve performance through efficient data dissemination and caching. A case study shows NDN significantly improves the performance of an IoT platform for wildfire detection and notification of affected areas.
Forensic the word which indicate the detective work, which searches for and attempting to discover information.

This document discusses using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) enabled Internet of Things (IoT) platform for disaster management, specifically wildfire management. It proposes a framework with three main components: 1) a ground IoT network to detect and monitor fires, 2) communication technologies for connectivity between ground and aerial networks, and 3) data analytics. It highlights challenges including limited energy, spectrum resources, and regulations. It also discusses using a named data networking (NDN) architecture for the ground IoT network to improve performance through efficient data dissemination and caching. A case study shows NDN significantly improves the performance of an IoT platform for wildfire detection and notification of affected areas.
Forensic the word which indicate the detective work, which searches for and attempting to discover information. Mainly search is carried out for collecting evidence for investigation which is useful in criminal, civil or corporate investigations. Investigation is applicable in presence of some legal rules.
As criminals are getting smarter to perform crime that is, using data hiding techniques such as encryption and steganography, so forensic department has become alert has introduced a new concept called as Digital Forensic, which handles sensitive data which is responsible and confidential.

Design guidelines for human computer interfaces supporting fire emergency response
1. Design Guidelines for HC Interfaces
Supporting Fire Emergency Response
Associate Professor Lili Yang
(BSc MSC PhD CITP FBCS)
Management of Information, Decision & Operation
School of Business & Economics
Loughborough University
United Kingdom
2. Introduction
Fire is a major cause of human suffering and material
loss in the UK.
Every year about 40,000 accidental house & building
fires in England that resulted in around 285 deaths and
9,000 people injured.
It is imperative to improve the capability in dealing with
fire emergencies and minimise the severity of their
impact.
3. Introduction
The majority of the efforts were focused on (Turoff et al.,
2004)
Building infrastructure improvements
Underlying technologies development
Technology driven systems
There was a little research related to response work during
emergencies, in particular to understand and recognise the
situation awareness of first responders.
On site information retrieving, sharing and presenting in the
right format, at the right time, and to the right people can
significantly improve the decision making of first responders
(Carver & Turoff, 2007; Manoj & Baker, 2007).
4. Introduction
Secure Adhoc Fire and Emergency Safety Network
(SAFETYNET) funded by the Department of Trade and
Industry, UK (Project No. TP/3/PIT/6/I/16993)
Total budget: £1.3 million
7 industrial partners involved
Website: www.fireSafetynet.org.uk
5. Project Objectives
The objectives of this project is to:
Collect user requirements for developing ER systems
for Large scale building fires.
Understand the situation or context of first responders
during emergencies.
Establish sensor networks for information retrieving
and data transmission.
Find the effective way to present information to first
responders.
Provide a collaborative platform for the stakeholders
during emergencies.
6. Project Objectives
In relation to achieving project objectives this paper
presents:
Important Contextual Factors to be considered
during design and development of IS supporting for
Fire Emergency Response
Robust and exclusive set of design decisions
suitable to meet the physical, perceptual and
cognitive attributes expected in the human
computer interfaces supporting firefighters.
7. Methodology
The proposed method Goal Directed
Information Analysis (GDIA) is used to identify
information requirements for better situation
Awareness (SA) from different fire fighter job
roles.
8. Field Work
Three fire & Rescue Services (Derbyshire,
Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire) in the UK were
selected as the case study.
The following Jobs were identified as the most
important for fire emergency in a large scale structure.
Incident commander (IC)
Sector commander (SC)
Breathing Apparatus entrance control officer
(BAECO)
Breathing Apparatus (BA) wearers.
9. Field Work
Participants from each of the four job roles were
selected for the requirements gathering
4*11 = 44 semi-structured interviews were carried
out with the firefighters
It was also supported by the data captured from
many field observations of fire simulation and
training exercises, fire and rescue related
documentation.
10. Influential Contextual Factors
The contextual considerations are essential as it
influence the formulation of Information systems
interface design guidelines from the following aspects:
mode of access to the information
type and size of the interface
content and amount of information to be displayed for
different job roles and different contextual conditions
These contextual factors were identified from our field
work.
26th Nov 2011
11. Influential Contextual Factors
1. Excessive Noise: the hearing capability is impaired.
2. Poor Visibility: smoke filled conditions
3. Hazardous Working Environment.
4. Less physical freedom for BA wearers: personal protective
equipment etc.
5. Differences in the Level of Mobility.
6. Rapid Pace of Fire Fighting Operations
7. Limited Communication Technology Used by Fire Fighters
during Operations
..........
12. Design Decisions & Their Application
1. Select a proper device and mode for information
presentation and user interaction
audio and visual aid interface design
a special designed Head Mounted Monitor, and a set of
speakers embedded in the fire fighter’s helmet.
reduce the influence of poor visibility and less use of
their hands.
Throat Voice commands control the monitor.
13. Design Decisions & Their Application
2. Facilitate efficient direct manipulation of IT
devices
use touched screen rather than keyboard for their direction
manipulation.
Pre-defined forms are proposed with Drop-down Option lists
and Option Check Boxes.
In a rare situation where the fire commanders have to
manually entre some information, they can use their own
handwriting with the support of a “stylus”.
introduce a “Drawing Tool Box”, consisting of several user
friendly drawing tools, to facilitate data entry needs.
14. Design Decisions & Their Application
3. Support rapid changes of priority, cognitive
demand and situations
Prominently display key information that triggers critical
situations.
Provide rapid navigation across interfaces capable of
displaying different levels of situational awareness, for
example
perception level,
comprehensive level
projection level.
15. Design Decisions & Their Application
4. Provide autonomy for first responders to select
information according to their individual
preferences
First responders working on different job roles are likely
to need different information at different stages.
Their individual level of experience and skill are
different, they may need different types of information to
be called onto the same interface to form their
individual situational awareness.
Introduce a flexible information Filtering option, e.g.
knowledge-based Filtering that can be controlled by the
end-users.
16. Design Decisions & Their Application
Level 1 SA - Perception information related to both the internal
and external context of the incident.
Level 2 SA - Comprehension information
Level 3 SA - Projection information
Alerts – Presenting audio and visual warnings to users.
Data input and querying – Providing data entry, querying, and
other user interaction portal.
Setting up and customization – Interfaces for making initial
configuration and personal preference.
Report generation – Generating a report for the post-incident
analysis of the activities and the premises involved in the
incident.
17. Design Decisions & Their Application
Example 1: Front-line fire fighter’s indoor navigation
interface
18. Design Decisions & Their Application
Example 2: Monitoring front-line fire fighters in
reconnaissance missions
19. Design Decisions & Their Application
Example 3: Interface of supporting rapid change of
cognitive demands
Comprehensive level
Perception level Projection level
20. Design Decisions & Their Application
Example 4: Interface of supporting on-site direct
manipulation of IT devices and collaboration
21. Design Decisions & Their Application
Example 4: Interface of supporting on-site direct
manipulation of IT devices and collaboration
How to improve first responders’ situation awareness? How to gather the data and information, and present them to the first responders in the right format, at the right time and to the right people.
In 2006, collaborated with 7 industrial partners our project SafetyNet was successfully awarded by the DTI. The total budget is £1.3 million.
