- Description
- Massive amounts of data during disaster situations require timely collection and analysis for the emergency team to mitigate the impact of the disaster under challenging social-technical conditions. The absence of the Internet or its intermittent and bandwidth-constraint connection in disaster areas may exacerbate and disrupt the data-collection process during the emergency response, and may cause delays for vital information to reach the control room in time. Instead of solving the problem at a network level, the chapter provides an alternative solution at the software design level. Our solution is called the priority over cloudlet terminal (POCkET) Framework, which consists of two components. The first one, called GIMo, is a generic disaster information model that defines dataset attributes and how each attribute is structured and customized. The second one, called AMMo, adapts GIMo structure and customization into a cloudlet implementation by assigning priority value for each dataset attribute and aggregates the attribute values into new priority level of a dataset. This mechanism ensures that a dataset with a higher priority value receives special treatment over a limited network situation. In this chapter, we will only focus our discussion on how we create GIMo as a part of POCkET Framework solution. Later, GIMo and AMMo are evaluated by observing the accuracy of the assigned priority compared to predefined scenarios using a distance measure technique. A scenario from bushfire case study was created and tested using different contexts. Eventually, the experiments have shown a better result in the customized context. For that reason, POCkET Framework has provided a potential alternative solution to the network problem in disaster environments by modifying the emergency response system requirements.
