Compared to current mobile networks, next-generation mobile networks are expected to support higher numbers of simultaneously connected devices and to achieve higher system spectrum efficiency and lower power consumption. To achieve these…
Being an up-and-coming application scenario of mobile edge computing (MEC), the post-disaster rescue suffers multitudinous computing-intensive tasks but unstably guaranteed network connectivity. In rescue environments, quality of service…
Responses to disastrous events are a challenging problem, because of possible damages on communication infrastructures. For instance, after a natural disaster, infrastructures might be entirely destroyed. Different network paradigms were…
In an increasingly complex, mobile and interconnected world, we face growing threats of disasters, whether by chance or deliberately. Disruption of coordinated response and recovery efforts due to organizational, technical, procedural,…
In this paper, we have proposed a new smartphone based system for health care, monitoring and diagnosis, which is specially designed to efficiently increase the public health care system in the distant, rural, unreached areas of the…
Reliable and resilient communication is essential for disaster recovery and emergency response, yet terrestrial infrastructure often fails during large-scale natural disasters. This paper proposes a High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) and…
Security testing has been a career path that many are beginning to take. In doing so, security testing can hit the realms of many different types of engagements, ranging from web, infrastructure and social engineering. With the risk of…
In this work, we introduce Mobile Wireless In-frastructure on Demand: a framework for providing wireless connectivity to multi-robot teams via autonomously reconfiguring ad-hoc networks. In many cases, previous multi-agent systems either…
Natural disasters can have catastrophic consequences, a poignant example is the series of $7.7$ and $7.6$ magnitude earthquakes that devastated T\"urkiye on February 6, 2023. To limit the damage, it is essential to maintain the…
New crisis response and management approaches that incorporate the latest information technologies are essential in all phases of emergency preparedness and response, including the planning, response, recovery, and assessment phases.…
Emerging device centric systems (DCS) such as device-to-device (D2D) communications are considered as a standard part of future mobile networks, where operators/consumers involve the devices in direct communication to improve the cellular…
In this paper we propose a method to enhance the life time as well as improve the performance of the mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). Since MANET consists of devices that run on batteries, having limited amount of energy and due to the…
Disaster response requires rapid, adaptive decision-making in chaotic environments. SwarmFusion, a novel hybrid framework, integrates particle swarm optimization with convolutional neural networks to optimize real-time resource allocation…
Social media such as tweets are emerging as platforms contributing to situational awareness during disasters. Information shared on Twitter by both affected population (e.g., requesting assistance, warning) and those outside the impact zone…
The objective of the paper is to design an agent which provides efficient response to the caller when a call goes unanswered in smartphones. The agent provides responses through text messages, email etc stating the most likely reason as to…
DTLS is a protocol that provides security guarantees to Internet communications. It can operate on top of both TCP and UDP transport protocols. Thus, it is particularly suited for peer-to-peer and distributed multimedia applications. The…
In modern society, the flow of information has become the lifeblood of commerce and social interaction. This movement of data supports most aspects of the United States economy in particular, as well as, serving as the vehicle upon which…
This paper describes a decentralized low-cost system designed to reinforce personal security in big events in case of emergency. The proposal consists of using smart contracts supported by blockchain in the management of events. An…
This paper is part of an ongoing project that seeks to address a gap in disaster information coordination and collaboration in Zimbabwe. There is lack of coordinated information and knowledge in natural disaster and emergency situations in…
The most critical time for information to spread is in the aftermath of a serious emergency, crisis, or disaster. Individuals affected by such situations can now turn to an array of communication channels, from mobile phone calls and text…
