IMPROVISA Project Spanish I+D+i funding • Technical University of Madrid, University Carlos III of Madrid and University of Alcalá • Minimalist Infrastructure for the provision of services in ad-hoc networks • Provision of services in scenarios lacking a fixed communications infrastructure • Cooperation of humans and electronic devices (computers, sensors/actors, robots, intelligent nodes, etc) is paramount. • Emergency management in catastrophes • Forest fire • Terrorist attack • Earthquake
IMPROVISA Project Ad-hoc networks Volunteer Ambulance Watch Tower HOSPITAL Fire fighters Team Civil services Fire fighters Chief Fire fighters Team Police Emergency Police Ambulance Hospital 112 Data lines Ad-hoc Network
IMPROVISA Project IMPROVISA main domains • Intelligent routing • Security • Ad-hoc semantic network • Multilayer-multipath video distribution
IMPROVISA Agents Intelligent Routing • Sending messages between non-interconnected ad-hoc networks
IMPROVISA Agents Security • Ad-hoc networks are more vulnerable than wired networks • Wireless technology • Open and dynamically changing topology • Lack of centralized control points • Special risks in emergency-support scenarios • Main concerns: key distribution and intrusion detection • Traditional centralized approaches not applicable • Need a highly decentralized, autonomous and adaptive solution • Agent-based security framework (confidentiality, authentication...) • Agent- based cooperative IDS
IMPROVISA Agents An ad-hoc semantic network • Agent-based intelligent level to support an ad-hoc semantic network • Devices that form an ad-hoc network (personal devices, car PCs, etc.) need to discover services • Water level, free beds at hospital, oxygen, etc. • With one or more UDDIs in the network • Distributed service location • With no UDDI • Agent context knowledge
IMPROVISA Agents Multilayer-multipath video distribution • Video images need to be transmitted • We will use a multilayer-multipath approach • Video information is divided in layers • Not all layers are needed • Different layers travel through different paths • Multi-agent systems may be used to support path decision
IMPROVISA Project Conclusions • We propose the use of ad-hoc networks, formed by personal devices, car PC’s… and some fixed lines to contact external services (hospital, police headquarters, etc.) • Multi-agent systems will be used to provide most of the main needs of the project • Intelligent information routing • Security • Service discovery • Video transmision
