Abstract

Efficient information sharing is very important for emergency and rescue operations. Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) are often the only network environment for such operations. We have developed the MIDAS Data Space (MDS) to transparently share information among rescue applications in such environments. To achieve the required level of availability for important information, MDS performs optimistic replication. The problems caused by optimistic replication, like consistency management, are not solved by standard solutions; instead we employ tailor-made solutions for emergency and rescue applications.
