TL;DR: The objective is to ensure best-effort delivery of emergency messages using a two-step approach, segregation of high priority messages through natural language processing based filtering and dissemination of filtered messages over DTN using a Priority-enhanced PRoPHET routing protocol which is developed by adapting the popular PRo PHET routing Protocol.

TL;DR: This paper derives a principal component regression model to forecast demand for emergency resources based on situational parameters at the shelters, and proposes an opportunistic demand sharing scheme for gathering and disseminating resource demands to the control station using a smartphone-based delay-tolerant network (DTN).

TL;DR: A utility driven optimal resource allocation model which minimizes overall resource deficit and total resource deployment time and an opportunistic knowledge sharing scheme for gathering and disseminating resource needs to the control station using a smartphone-based delay tolerant network are proposed.

TL;DR: A Blockchain based incentive scheme for DTN based post disaster communication network that uses Bitcoin to incentivize nodes for cooperation is proposed that uses a novel reward strategy to bring rationality in the incentivizing process.

TL;DR: A scheme called GREAT (Global Reputation Estimation and Analysis Technique) is proposed that uses statistical estimation technique to estimate the global reputation of a node as a forwarder and as a rater from sample reputation values collected from a sample set of nodes in the network.
