A presentation on a conceptual approach to sharing in formation and addressing a lack of interoperability between systems in emergency management/public safety applications.
Citizen Communications in Crisis - Liu and PalenSophia B Liu
This document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) are changing disaster response by enabling new forms of public participation and peer-to-peer communication. It analyzes case studies of recent disasters to understand how citizens use technologies like social media to share information and support each other. The emergence of these grassroots activities presents new challenges and opportunities for formal emergency response systems, which traditionally follow a top-down command structure. The document argues more research is needed to understand these changes and ensure technology is designed and implemented in a way that supports both public participation and coordinated response efforts.
This document discusses the risks, countermeasures, costs and benefits of cloud computing. It identifies key risks like cyberattacks, lack of data location control, complex trust boundaries that make investigations difficult, and privacy issues. It recommends solutions like well-defined policies, service level agreements, continuous risk assessments, encryption, and guidance from NIST. While cloud computing offers cost savings and flexibility, users are ultimately responsible for security and must approach cloud adoption with care given its immature nature and risks.
A mobile agent based approach for data management to support 3 d emergency pr...Ijrdt Journal
This document proposes a mobile agent-based approach for data management to support 3D emergency preparedness scenarios over ad-hoc networks. It aims to address the challenges of managing large amounts of data for virtual scenes on mobile devices with limited resources. The approach uses multiple mobile agents that can autonomously make decisions about data computation and node state. The agents work to gather critical data from avatars and supply it to stable neighbor nodes when nodes leave suddenly, to help maintain a persistent virtual environment. The approach is intended to limit disruption to applications and provide a realistic experience even as nodes enter and exit the network dynamically.
Six questions every health industry executive should ask about cloud computing
The document discusses 6 key questions that health industry executives should ask when evaluating potential adoption of cloud computing. Cloud computing can provide computing capabilities over the internet and offers potential benefits like lower costs, flexibility, and faster deployment. However, concerns around data security and privacy are barriers to adoption in healthcare. Private clouds within healthcare organizations may be the initial approach before public cloud infrastructure is utilized more broadly.
This document proposes a smart semantic middleware for the Internet of Things. The middleware would allow for self-managed complex systems consisting of distributed and heterogeneous components. Each component would be represented by an autonomous software agent that monitors and controls the component. Semantic technologies and ontologies would be used to enable discovery and interoperability between heterogeneous components. The proposed middleware aims to support self-configuration, optimization, protection and healing of complex systems.
Concepts On Information Sharing And Interoperability Contestabile Final 03 0...jcontestabile
This paper addresses a conceptual framework for sharing information across jurisdictions, agencies and public safety disciplines. It was developed as part of the NCR jurisdictions (i.e. Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia) interoperable communications programs. The paper explores why information sharing is important to successfully dealing with large scale events and how a lack of public safety communications systems interoperability is a major impediment. It describes a how a conceptual framework of information layers (i.e. the Data, Integration and Presentation layers) is useful to developing solutions to the lack of interoperability.

InSTEDD’s Mesh4x (http://code.google.com/p/mesh4x) allows for data synchronization among different data sources regardless of technology platform or network connectivity. Users can make their data available to all users in their distributed project team or across different jurisdictions. We describe the utility and architecture of Mesh4x to share data over the Internet cloud where users determine which subset of their data are exchanged. This technology raises the potential to share data (e.g., during outbreak investigation, disaster recovery or humanitarian relief efforts) where multiple people are then allowed access to see each other’s data, update the information as the event unfolds, and securely exchange data with one another.

Public safety in a multi media era facilitating incident management responseJack Brown
The document discusses facilitating incident management response through improved situational awareness using multimedia technologies. It describes how situational awareness originally referred to a pilot's tactical awareness but now means comprehending observations through additional context. It argues that public safety systems need to integrate data in real-time to provide responders with a shared operational picture. A geospatial visualization of integrated information sources could help facilitate rapid decision making during incidents.
This white paper discusses how converged IP communications platforms can provide improved crisis communications capabilities over legacy systems through features that increase survivability, interoperability, and functionality. Survivability is enhanced by fault-tolerant hardware, automatic rerouting, and the ability to switch between VoIP and circuit-switched modes. Interoperability is improved through integrated dispatch systems that can connect various public safety devices. Additional benefits include enhanced 911 services, alert systems, personal communications portals, and one-number reachability across multiple devices.
The document discusses mobile collaboration tools for disaster response. It introduces four free and open-source tools created to improve collaboration in crisis situations by allowing diverse organizations to self-organize, share information freely across boundaries, and maintain a common operating picture. The tools aim to address challenges like unreliable networks, busy users, and a lack of information sharing. They include Mesh4X, a data synchronization platform, and GeoChat, an emergent awareness group chat tool on a map. The document calls for broad adoption of such tools to effectively support collaboration during disasters.
Connect & Protect is an advanced information sharing service that allows government agencies and organizations to securely share sensitive information during crises. It aggregates data from various online sources and allows authorized users to set up communities to exchange information. The service was tested in Sweden with participation from emergency responders. Evaluations found that a system like Connect & Protect can effectively enable cross-organization information sharing needed to manage emergencies, by addressing issues like building trust between information owners and users.
The AtHoc Suite provides a comprehensive solution for networked crisis communication. It allows organizations to alert people across all devices, collect information from the field for situational awareness, track personnel locations and status, and connect with external organizations. The suite includes modules for alerting, collecting field reports, tracking personnel, and external communication. It aims to provide the most effective response to emergencies through real-time information sharing and coordination both within and between organizations.
Here are some key challenges I would raise with a PACS vendor:
1. Integration capabilities - A PACS system must seamlessly integrate with our existing RIS and EHR systems. The vendor should demonstrate how their system handles integration and provide examples of successful integrations with our specific software.
2. Downtime procedures - No system is foolproof, so what are their documented downtime procedures? Do they offer 24/7 support during outages to help us continue operations? I need reassurance that patient care won't be disrupted.
3. Interoperability strategy - A long-term vision for interoperability is crucial as healthcare IT evolves. How will their roadmap allow us to share data with outside

The goal is to promote formation of a social network to organize sharing of knowledge and communication for disaster preparedness and community development across Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
InSTEDD develops collaborative communication and data sharing tools to help organizations coordinate emergency response efforts. Some key products mentioned are:
1. GeoChat - Allows groups to communicate in real-time on a map using text messaging to coordinate response activities.
2. Mesh4X - Integrates diverse data sources and applications to allow different organizations using different systems to securely share information.
3. Evolve - Helps teams collaboratively monitor data streams, detect emerging events, and make joint decisions through annotation, tagging, and machine learning capabilities.
Natural and human caused disasters are occurring more frequently, resulting in loss of lives, damages to infrastructure, and negative economic and humanitarian effects. C2-SENSE is a framework that allows for ad-hoc communication with field sensors during emergencies, data exchange between emergency organizations, and collaboration for joint decision making. It provides interoperability between different command and control and sensor systems internationally and in near real-time through standardized data formats and profile-based data sharing. Objects of interest are represented on maps with metadata to provide flexibility in dealing with emergency situations.
Activity Streaming as Information X-DockingKai Riemer
The document discusses activity streaming, which integrates information from various sources into a single stream in real-time. It draws an analogy between activity streaming and cross-docking in logistics. While cross-docking consolidates item flows and facilitates distribution, activity streaming faces challenges in determining information needs, tagging and filtering data from diverse sources, and integrating streams with user environments and roles. Six key challenges of activity streaming are identified: determining information needs, tagging data with metadata, filtering contextual delivery, heterogeneous receivers and senders, and integration with user work practices.
A New And Efficient Hybrid Technique For The Automatic...Amber Wheeler
The three articles proposed different approaches to improve elasticity and resource scaling in cloud computing. Islam et al. defined metrics to quantify elasticity for cloud consumers. Nguyen et al. designed an elastic resource scaling system using prediction to allocate resources proactively based on future needs. Han et al. developed an approach to detect and analyze bottlenecks in multi-tier cloud applications to enable elastic scaling. The articles aim to enhance cloud elasticity through metrics, predictive allocation, and bottleneck analysis for improved resource utilization and user experience.
Discussion 1Cloud computing offers the ability to share informatVinaOconner450
Discussion 1
Cloud computing offers the ability to share information and facilities belonging to multiple organizations or sites. Hence, expanding the use of cloud computing causes security challenges for us. NIST defines cloud computing as the representation for making relevant, on-demand adjustments for the right of entry into a collective pool. With fewer supervisory practices or cloud supplier contact, all of these networks, servers, storage, software and services are constantly designed.
Until now, cloud computing has been viewed as a revolutionary measuring concept. This required the use of more than one stage of thinking to quantify contact. The spot specifications of these providers are sold at cheaper rates online. The inference of high flexibility and usability is the reason. Cloud computing is the biggest subject that is starting to get the right kind of attention lately. The rewards of cloud computing platforms arise from financial networks of all types.
Cloud computing, is an evolving method of distributed computing that is still in its inception. The theory uses all levels of explanations and interpretation on its own. The main one that has connectivity and other calculative possessions is a public cloud. This is made accessible digitally to average citizens and is known to all the cloud service companies. The confidential cloud on the other side is the one in which the calculating atmosphere is fully created for the industry. This can be done by the sector or by third parties. This can be hosted in the knowledge hub of the industry. The private cloud gives the industry good leverage of the means of communication and computation relative to the public cloud. The hybrid cloud is primarily the fusion of two or more than two clouds, this becomes the unusual entities that are connected to each other by integrated or standardized technologies that facilitate interconnectivity.
Today, in certain ways, the focus is on vendors to detect and prevent cloud events. The more autonomy we have, the more flexibility we have in incorporating virtual appliances and resources for network security and the more we will be able to detect unusual incidents and take actions immediately.

Discussion 2
In cloud computing, there is a comfort of sharing distributed services and resources belonging to different sites or organization which help companies to manage their business operation globally and help it to expand their organization at a large scale. However, it also brings complexity to the incident handlers as firstly as many users can access the same information freely, there will be substrata of users who will not be paying for the resources and identifying those users is a challenge. Second, as there are numerous security parameters in cloud computing in terms of networks, databases, resource scheduling, and memory mana ...
A STUDY ON LEA AND SEED ALGORITHMS FOR DATA PROTECTION OF SMARTPHONE BASED DI...IJNSA Journal
The number of disaster occurrences around the world based on the climate changes due to the global
warming has been indicating an increase. To prevent and cope with such disaster, a number of researches
have been actively conducted to combine the user location service as well as the sensor network
technology into the expanded IoT to detect the disaster at early stages. However, due to the appearance of
the new technologies, the scope of the security threat to the pre-existing system has been expanding. In this
thesis, the D-SASS using the beacon to provide the notification service to the disaster-involved area and
the safe service to the users is proposed. The LEA Algorithm is applied to the proposed system to design
the beacon protocol collected from the smartphone to safely receive the notification information. In
addition, for data protection of a notification system, LEA and SEED algorithms were applied, and a
comparative analysis was conducted.
The document discusses how control rooms are evolving to incorporate more collaboration tools beyond just hardware systems. It provides examples of how transportation authorities and utility companies now use networked video walls and software to allow operators, managers, and other key stakeholders to access and share critical information from any location. This enables more efficient decision-making during incidents or crises by giving visibility into real-time data on situations from multiple sources and locations. The article advocates for control room designs that facilitate collaborative sharing of information on data, images, and video from various user perspectives anywhere as needed.
This document proposes an integrated cloud-based framework for collecting and processing sensory data from mobile phones to support diverse people-centric applications. The framework includes modules for user adaptation, storage, application interfaces, and mobile cloud engines. A prototype is implemented to demonstrate how the framework can reduce mobile device energy consumption while meeting application requirements such as for emergency response systems.
