IEEE - 4th Workshop on Emergency Networks for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (EN4PPDR 2017)
October 9, 2017, Rome, Italy
Call for Papers:
The Emergency Networks for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (EN4PPDR) Workshop, 4th edition, 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.
Papers primarily based on (but not limited to) the following topics are welcome: (Topics include but not limited to)
- First responder equipment and sensors
- Body and Personal Area Networks
- Ad hoc and wireless mesh networks
- 4G wireless technologies (LTE, WiMax)
- 5G-based emergency networks
- SDN/NFV for PPDR systems
- Wireless LANs
- Sensor networks for environmental monitoring (WSN)
- Positioning systems (LPS, GPS,...)
- Infrastructure and Infrastructures-less architectures and protocols for prompt response
- Satellite communications for disaster events
- Satellite and terrestrial networks inter-working
- Multimedia communications
- Information systems for disaster events
- Secure communications
- Critical infrastructure resilience and survivability
- Disaster management
- Interoperability (radio spectrum, wireless technologies, network architectures)
- Inter-agency interoperability (among different public safety agencies)
- Inter-countries interoperability (among different countries agencies)
- Demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing
- New social media and wireless technologies for crisis response and Search and Rescue (SAR) activities
