Abstract

Disasters often cause inevitable and tremendous loss in lives and properties. Appropriate use of the rapidly growing IT technologies will ease disaster rescue missions. Lightweight mobile device has become a ubiquitously essential element in people daily activities. Therefore, mobile devices are used to support information synthesis and delivery services in designing emergency response systems for disaster rescue and relief operations. In this paper, we present the inception of Disaster Rescue over Information-Oriented Network, abbreviated as DR. ION. DR. ION is an information-oriented framework consisting of a set of ION nodes. The ION nodes are self-organized into an information exchange network with or without network infrastructure support. To reduce the complexity of using the underlying network by the rescue teams, a message in DR. ION is self-evolving, which means that the message is active: it delivers rescue instructions along with its information content, and interacts through the ION nodes with the surrounding environment.
