Abstract
The transition to next generation networks is often coupled with the vision of innovative services providing personalized and customisable services over an all-IP infrastructure. To enable a smooth transition, next generation all-IP networks need not only support more services but also support emergency services. The idea here is to provide a general emergency management framework addressing extreme emergency situations such as terrorist attacks and natural catastrophes as well as day-to-day emergency cases based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). In order to enable multimedia communication for emergency situations, an framework will be architected for supporting the distribution of currently centralised services such as VoIP and name translation and supporting those services in a reliable and secure manner withstanding any failures and changes of the network.
