We introduce a disaster-zone-monitoring web-based application. While using this application, the user may simulate different large-scale disaster zones. He may use tools to define a disaster zone and its communication requirements. The web application uses the Google Earth infrastructure and is publicly available to use online during the conference from every computer connected to the Internet. The evolving deployment of nodes will be updated each second to reflect the current state of the entities residing within the monitored zone.

The user will be able to navigate through the disaster zone to inspect the dynamically changed environment, and to learn about node deployment and the current network connectivity and service availability. He could ask the system to find the number of agents required to be deployed and present this deployment. The user also will be able to define the budget limitations. Thus, the system will derive the number of agents, their deployment, and the resulting system utility. Given a system utility, the user can decide whether to adopt the deployment even though it does not guarantee full coverage, or to increase the budget to improve system utility.
