Message Scheduling Delivery on Disaster Notification System

Abstract

Natural disaster cannot be prevented, but its impacts can be eliminated or reduced. Mobile devices are the most effective and convenient communication tools which are not restricted by time and place. In this paper, the main service task is the timely delivery of possibly disaster information to mobile devices which are in the imminent disaster area. The system finds whether a mobile is within a defined disaster area using its GPS coordinates. The system architecture is built for sending notifications to mobile devices in disaster area. This system also proposes an algorithm for server side message scheduling based on queuing theory. This algorithm can handle queuing of messages and delivery to the target devices.
