Ad-hoc community composition of rescue forces in action situations

Abstract

Secure energy and transport networks, Internet and telecommunications, are vital nerves of our highly networked society. Global mobility makes it difficult to combat and natural disasters and technological accidents can cause serious damage in a closer-knit world. In this paper we introduce the challenges in dynamic community composition of heterogeneous rescue forces (culture clash) for rescue and protection tasks and discuss our approach in the context of the "SpeedUp project" how to present a solution for ad-hoc communication, situation-aware representation, tracking and guiding in dynamic inhomogeneous communities.
