Abstract
In an Emergency Management System, with high degree of complexity and heterogeneity, communications play a key role in providing effective and timely community response, focused relief in favor of affected population and means of coordination and cooperation to operating forces and control rooms. Middleware layer functionalities can enhance system performance in offering such services, but interactive delay-sensitive ones. In this work, a standard Publish/Subscribe middleware is employed to address the above-mentioned issues, with a novel extension to cope with voice calls establishment in an all-IP heterogeneous, pervasive, and distributed platform for emergency communications.
