Abstract
Currently, networks are essential to the lives of people and have spread widely as an important information infrastructure. Many people use networks as a way to contact others, for example, via telephone calls, e-mails, and social networking services (SNSs). Therefore, a communication failure, which can be caused by damage to network systems or network congestion when many people try to use the network at the same time in an emergency, may bring about anxiety or embarrassment during a disaster. Therefore, in this research, we aim at constructing an information communication system useful in large-scale disasters between subnets gathered in emergency time by using that environment. In particular, focusing on the chat system by P2P communication, we developed a communication infrastructure that can handle communications even without the Internet, and we developed an application to be placed on it. We also show the usefulness of the system.
