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

2.  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.

3.  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
