IP-Based Emergency Applications and Services for Next Generation Networks PEACE Presented by Suji Gunaratne PhD

 Technical level  Specify and develop a framework for enhancing IMS with secure emergency services  Provide a general solution for secure communications in extreme emergency situations based on the IMS framework.  Integrate the PEACE framework with autonomic networking infrastructure in a secure and reliable manner in case of network collapse. In its normal mode of operation, PEACE nodes will be providing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) VoIP and video communications, as well as location-aware services such as communicating weather, driving and traffic conditions, real-time monitoring and road safety. PEACE Objectives  Deployment/ business level  Evaluate the implications on the current emergency models of the PEACE concept, determine business plans for upgradeability / replacement and provide roadmaps for evolution.

 Provide some answers to the growing demand for emergency services in Next Generation (All-IP) Network  Solution  Use applications platform in order to handle and manage emergency service  Enhance the end-users clients to support this kind of vital services  Support reliability (against failures and network break down ) and security (against attacks and abuse) Motivation and Drivers  Provide some answers to the need for emergency services in case of networks’ collapse  Solution  Exploit the use of ad-hoc network to provide applications and services in emergency situations  Investigate how the end-users can support emergency services in this kind of networking paradigm  Support resilience and security by applying autonomic networking techniques

PEACE Framework

Consortium and Expertise (I)  The Consortium  2 companies, 1 operator, 2 universities, 2 research centres and 2 SMEs.  The Expertise  Capacity to have a prospective vision of the most likely scenarios for the evolution of emergency services and capacity to evaluate the impact of solutions proposed. One operator: Telefonica  Capacity to propose and evaluate solutions, for the technological issues recognized as key aspects for the development of emergency applications and ad-hoc networks. Strong research teams from laboratories and universities: Kingston University, University of Patras, IT and Fraunhofer Fokus

 The Expertise (cont.)  Capacity to filter and validate the technological proposals based on their expected commercial value and make the translation to prototypes. Two large companies: Thales, Sun Microsystems  Specific expertise on dedicated topics. Two SMEs: PDMFC ( software tools, emulation engine) and Pale Blue (networking protocols and middleware) Consortium & Expertise (II)

WB Structure & Dependencies

 Objectives:  Interface between the Project and the European Commission done by the Project Coordinator (CO) whose role is to:.  Provide the consortium with a complete management process (tools & methodology) and project Secretariat (administrative, financial & contractual). The Coordinator together with the Technical Manager will be responsible for;  Providing technical quality control through the technical steering group.  Effort:  14PM (funded by the commission) + 10PM (offered by the coordinator)  Organization:  Project Manager (PDM&FC)  Technical Manager (University of Patras) WP1 – Management

 Objectives:  Collect and analyse requirements for emergency systems from a regulatory, operational and end-users‘ groups point of view  Assess the work about emergency services that has already started in ETSI, 3GPP and IETF and see how it can be useful  Based on the results of the analysis phase, an appropriate framework for providing emergency services based on IMS and P2P applications for daily and extreme emergency situations will be specified and developed  Special care will be dedicated to aspects of high availability of the system and its secure operation  Effort: 99 PMs  Partners involved: All, WP Leader: FhG FOKUS WP2 – Emergency Architecture Requirements and Specification

 Objectives:  Specify the interfaces between the different components of the PEACE architecture.  Implementation of protocols extensions and components for daily emergency services (enhancement of IMS components, resilience and security components,)  Implementation of protocols extensions and components for extreme emergency services (wireless ad-hoc networking, P2P, applications, security and reliability)  Effort: 114PM  Partners: All, WP Leader: Telefónica I+D WP3 – Emergency System Implementation and Prototyping

 Test scenarios  Daily emergency: Controlled internal scenario: Telefonica I+D lab trial using IMS testbed Campus-wide scenario: University campus Real-world scenario with Police/Fire Dept as first responders  Extreme emergency: Real-world scenario with Police/Fire Dept as users WP4 – Integration, Evaluation and Trials
