Abstract

This paper describes architecture and middleware for a system of intelligent Guards against Disasters, called iGaDs for short. iGaDs are smart devices and applications that can receive, authenticate and process standard-conforming disaster alert messages from authorized senders and respond by taking appropriate actions to help us to be better prepared for nature disasters. They are designed to be used ubiquitously as elements of future disaster-prepared smart homes and environments. The prototype prioritized asynchronous alert message delivery service described here is built by using a data bridge to connect Qpid and PubSubHubbub as a way to push alert messages to a large system of iGaDs via Internet.
