Design Challenges for an Integrated Disaster Management Communication and Information System
Service and Device Configuration
We have so far argued that the proposed system has to
be able to manage vast amounts of data at all levels. Ex-
changing data in real time between the right entities is a
key challenge. The information flow must be controlled
in such a way that during the disaster the system is ro-
bust and ready to be extended or (re-) configured easily.
This section shows that these requirements call for auto-
and self-configuration of the devices and services in the
network.
