Funded Activity Summary

Pervasive Data Dissemination Framework Using Intermittently Connected Mobile Ad Hoc Networks for Emergency, Medical, and Rural Applications. Australia and many other countries face the problem of disseminating vital medical, local, and personal data in case of emergency and natural disasters when the main telecommunications infrastructure is disrupted. A similar outreach problem exists in rural areas where such infrastructure doesn't exist or is limited. This project aims at providing a feasible data dissemination solution for such disruptions. It also promises a new framework for regular data communications in rural areas through efficient inter-connection with commercial networks. Upon completion, Australia will be in forefront of technologies related to the increasingly important theme of emergency and medical communications and data delivery, amongst other applications.
