Next Generation Networks for First Responders and Critical Infrastructures
Thursday, November 9th, 2006Call for Papers: The First International Workshop on Research Challenges in Next Generation Networks for First Responders and Critical Infrastructures. New Orleans, Louisiana, April 11-13.
As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication and sensor networks continue, more opportunities are open to first responders and critical infra-structures to benefit from these technologies. Providing first responders with the best possible technology, infrastructure and services help save the lives of the general public and the first responders as well.
One of the main challenges to the operations of first responders and critical infrastructures is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, secure, and rapidly deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed network supports services such as location determination, audio and video communication, and in site and remote sensing. Another key feature for first responders and critical infrastructures networks is to support interactions among multiple heterogeneous networks.
