Session 5 - Mobile Information and Communication Systems in Crisis Situations (MICS)
Mr J. Panchard, Media Action International / École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Suisse
Abstract:
In crisis situations, Mobile Communication Networks are one of the most important means to support
emergency telecommunication capabilities for users involved in relief operations.
Traditional mobile networks are using a fixed infrastructure of base stations and switches to interconnect
the users handsets.
As alternative so-called "self-organised, ad-hoc, infrastructure-less" mobile networks based are now considered
in various research and development projects.
The presentation will give an overwiew of the project MICS from the EPFL in Lausanne/Switzerland, its objectives,
the scope of the different phases (including users requirements) and of the status of the work.
