Summary

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 a universal XML based description format, which handles all relevant settings and actions seen in first response scenarios. In addition we implemented a user-friendly movement and environment simulator which interacts with the network layer 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 more fine grained than using a network or movement simulator separately.
