First response communication is tackled by several independent research groups. While there are existing prototypes and simulated results, comparison of first response solutions is hardly possible so far. We have built an universal XML based description format to handle all relevant settings and actions typical for first response scenarios. In addition we implemented a user-friendly movement and environment simulator which interacts with the network simulation on top of the simulated movement. The chosen data structure have proven to be well suited for describing settings and actions found in a first response scenario. The simulator combines movement and network simulation and therefore enables both, fine grained movement models and location aware network models with reciprocal interdependencies. The simulation results of the chosen communication approach are therefore finer grained than using a network or movement simulator separately. In this demo we show different movement and network models, perform movement simulations and show the interface for using mobility simulation within network simulators.
