Abstract

At the occurrence of large-scale disasters, many regions were isolated from critical information exchanges due to the damages on communication and information infrastructures. In those serious disasters, quick and flexible disaster recovery network and computing system is required to deliver the disaster related information after disaster. In this paper, mobile cloud computing for information exchange among isolated shelters is introduced. The vehicle with mobile cloud server traverses the isolated shelters and exchanges information and returns to the disaster headquarter which is connected to cloud computing through Internet. DTN function is introduced to store, carry and exchange messages as a message ferry among the shelters even in the challenged network environment where wired and wireless communication links are completely damaged. The prototype system of mobile vehicle computing is constructed to evaluate the effects of proposed system.
