IEEE Emergency Networks for Public Protection and Disaster Relief

October 17, 2016 - New York City (U.S.A.)

************************************************************************

The EN4PPDR workshop 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 on one hand helps an effective emergency response on the other it plays a fundamental role in saving human lives, protecting property and recovering from system failure.

The workshop's 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. Submission of results from research activities, demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing are encouraged from universities, research institutes, industries and companies. Joint papers from different institutions are welcome.

MAIN TOPICS of INTEREST

* First responder equipment and sensors * Body and Personal Area Networks * Ad hoc and wireless mesh networks * 4G wireless technologies * 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 national agencies) * Demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing * New social media and wireless technologies for crisis response and Search and Rescue (SAR) activities

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

High-quality full papers which at the time of submission are not under review and have not already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere are solicited. The first page should include the paper's title, the abstract, a list of keywords indicating the paper's topic area(s), the authors' full names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses.

All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and by the IEEE, and will be accessible via IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors are required to submit fully formatted papers (PDF), with graphs, images, and other special types arranged as intended for the final publication. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11" - US letter, Two-Column). The final manuscript for publication will be limited to 8 IEEE pages.
