Cloud Computing and Robotics for Disaster Management

摘要

Nowadays, IT community is experiencing great shift in computing and information storage infrastructures by using powerful, flexible and reliable alternative of cloud computing. The power of cloud computing may also be realized for mankind if some dedicated disaster management clouds will be developed at various countries cooperating each other on some common standards. The experimentation and deployment of cloud computing by governments of various countries for mankind may be the justified use of IT at social level. It is possible to realize a real-time disaster management cloud where applications in cloud will respond within a specified time frame. If a Real-Time Cloud (RTC) is available then for intelligent machines like robots the complex processing may be done on RTC via request and response model. The complex processing is more desirable as level of intelligence increases in robots towards humans even more. Therefore, it may be possible to manage disaster sites more efficiently with more intelligent cloud robots without great lose of human lives waiting for various assistance at disaster site. Real-time garbage collector, real-time specification for Java, multicore CPU architecture with network-on-chip, parallel algorithms, distributed algorithms, high performance database systems, high performance web servers and gigabit networking can be used to develop real-time applications in cloud.
