He therefore empirically analyzes how people in disasters use remnants of technology to still communicate their needs. Based on this, he suggests quality attributes whose implementation can support the resilience in technology. To exemplify this he develops iteratively two mobile ad-hoc systems and explores their feasibility and implications for emergency response under close-to-real conditions. Compared to the state of the art both systems are independent from preexisting network infrastructure and run on off-the-shelf smartphones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpirical Findings on the Usage of Remnants of Technology\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefinition of Quality Attributes Fostering Resilience\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIterative Development of Mobile Ad-Hoc Systems\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTarget Groups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearchers for human-computer interaction and crisis management\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperts and practitioners for emergency response\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Amro Al-Akkad works at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology.
