Abstract
One of today’s major problems is the lack of detailed and current information on the spot for fire brigades and other action forces (e.g. police). However, access to the distributed information (e.g. location maps of fire hydrants, building plans, air photos) is not always available and has to be requested via paper mail in advance. Particularly, preventive fire protection and reactive fire prevention depending on a high-quality information management, which allows them to arrange a more efficient operation. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a design of a secure and reliable role based concept, which permits fast access to confidential information. Furthermore, the technical challenge of the development of such a communication infrastructure is illustrated. A performance analysis of an exemplary Monitoring Service for a distributed IT-Federation is introduced, in which an analytical Boolean Reliability Model is presented as an approach to visualize the bottleneck of a decentralized system.
