Today’s smart computing allow us handle such situations and fulfill our requirements more efficiently and effectively. This paper presents architecture to handle various kinds of emergency situations more efficiently by allowing the user (victim or witness) easy and quick way to alert the concerned department(s) with just a single button press. The emergency related information is then uploaded automatically to the mobile cloud, allowing further analysis and improvement in safety of people. 1. Introduction A situation that poses an immediate risk to health, life, property or environment, is known as emergency situation. Emergency situations are part of our lives. They happen at any moment, any place, to anybody. May it be an accident, a fire breaking out, building being collapsed, murder, robbery or kidnapping, stealing or damaging something; any kind of such situation can arise. With the increasing number of such situations, in today’s age of smart phones, it has become necessary to have a solution for quick and easy way of alerting the right people for help and inform family members in an efficient and easy way. With the advent of cloud computing, mobile cloud computing, and smart phones, it has become very important to use these paradigms for such purpose more effectively [1, 2, 3, 5, and 6]. Currently, the way emergency situations are tackled at the user’s end, is not efficient at all [2, 3]. If any emergency situation occurs, the victim or witness has to first decide the type of emergency and then find out which appropriates departments have to be contacted. For example, in case of an accident, the victim or a witness has to call ambulance, as well as the police. So manually finding out the contact numbers and departments is not efficient. After that, the victim or witness will inform his/her family members, may it be one, two, three or even more. All this is time taking and in case of emergency, very frustrating and can cost life as well. All this traditional process is shown through a flowchart in figure 1. Fig 1.

Proposed Architecture The objective is to contact the appropriate emergency tackling department as well as send message to the family members (to alert them to avoid any further 2013년 한국컴퓨터종합학술대회 논문집
