Topics/Call fo Papers

The Emergency Networks for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (EN4PPDR) Workshop aims to gather researchers and experts working in the field of public safety, emergency response, protection, relief and recovery of critical infrastructures. Disasters, natural or not, may occur on a metropolitan (e.g. building collapse, airplane crash,...) or on a large scale (e.g. earthquake, forest fire, flooding,..) and may involve critical infrastructures as well (e.g. gas pipelines, electric power systems, telecommunications networks,...).
Therefore, protection of critical infrastructures from one side and prompt emergency response from the other play a fundamental role in saving human lives, protecting properties and recovering from system failure.
The workshop very large area of interests includes, but is not limited to, wireless technologies, network architectures, transmission protocols, spectrum management, fast deployable systems, interoperability, crisis management, data fusion systems, secure communications, standardization activities, first responder equipment, network topologies and resilience.
Results from research activities, demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing are encouraged by universities, research institutes, industries and companies.
Joint papers from different institutions are welcome.
