提案#：CNS 08-21736PI(S)：Dantu，Ram Guturu，Parthasarathy；Kavi，Krishna M.机构：北得克萨斯大学丹顿大学，德克萨斯州76203-5250标题：磁共振成像/开发：下一代9-1-1服务实验研究的灵活仪器和工具建议的项目：该项目开发一种灵活的研究仪器和工具，以了解和分析下一代9-1-1服务，为规划下一代紧急通信基础设施的过程做出贡献。该仪器将容纳和评估以下技术：定位9-1-1呼叫者、确保公共安全应答点(PSAP)的安全、确保大规模紧急情况下9-1-1服务的持续可用、提供邻里通知、改进机构间协调以及通过视频电话和即时消息增强为聋人和听障人士提供的9-1-1服务。其他目标包括测量PSAP中使用的Lost(位置到服务转换)、LCP(位置配置)和SIPLC(SIP位置传输)协议的性能；开发用于呼叫处理和安全(PSAP)的性能测量工具，将开发工作转化为工程指南，并在政府组织、互联网工程任务组(IETF)、国家紧急号码协会(NENA)和9-1-1中心等标准机构中传播结果。Nena和Denco 9-1-1中心支持工具和仪器的测试和验证。因此，该项目开发了一种灵活、高性能的工具和工具，用于定位呼叫者，特别是调查下一代9-1-1技术的安全性和可扩展性，-调查与灾难期间9-1-1通知相关的几个研究问题所需的工具，以及-将结果传输到行业和政府机构的传播和教育计划。广泛影响：该项目使9-1-1服务方面的新研究和教育成为可能。将组织讲习班(已在网络电话安全方面举办了3次)，并即将进行传播。启动的研究项目将对聋人和听力和言语障碍的人有所帮助。

Proposal #: CNS 08-21736PI(s): Dantu, Ram Guturu, Parthasarathy; Kavi, Krishna M.Institution: University of North Texas Denton, TX 76203-5250Title: MRI/Dev:A Flexible Instrument and Tools for Experimental Research in Next Generation 9-1-1 ServicesProject Proposed:This project, developing a flexible instrument and tools for research to understand and analyze next-generation 9-1-1 services, contributes to the process of planning next-generation emergency communication infrastructure. The instrument will house and evaluate the techniques for locating 9-1-1 callers, securing public safety answering points (PSAPs), ensuring continuous availability of 9-1-1 services during large-scale emergencies, providing neighborhood notifications, improving interagency coordination, and enhancing 9-1-1 services for the deaf and hearing-impaired through video phones and instant messaging. Additional goals include measuring the performance of LoST (location to service translation), LCP (location configuration), and SIPLC (SIP location conveyance) protocols used in PSAP; developing a tool for performance measurements for call processing and security (PSAP), translating the development efforts to engineering guidelines, and disseminating the results across government organizations, standards bodies such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) and 9-1-1 centers. NENA and Denco 9-1-1 center support testing and validation of the tools and instrument. Thus, the project develops - A flexible, high performance instrument and tools for locating callers, specifically to investigate security and scalability of next-generation 9-1-1 technology,- The instrumentation required for investigation of several research issues related to 9-1-1 notifications during disaster, and- A dissemination and educational program to transfer the results to industry and government agencies.Broader Impacts: This project enables new research and education in 9-1-1 services. Workshops will be organized (3 have been held in VoIP security) and dissemination will be forthcoming. The research projects enabled will be helpful to deaf and hearing- and speech-impaired individuals.
