Context aware collaborative computing model for natural disaster management systems

Abstract

Nowadays, natural disaster management is considered one of the critical issues, where many governments are spending a huge amount of money to master it. And to help these governmental bodies in managing this kind of situation, we used the concept of collaborative computing, to introduce an approach for mobiles to collaborate in order to act as helper agents for other ones with limited resources. Our approach is called the Disaster Pool. And in this paper we highlighted the importance of collaborative computing, have a quick look on previous work, and discuss our approach and the implemented code. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
