Abstract:
Report describing work carried out in the NKS/BOK-1.6 MINEP (Mobile Internet
and Nuclear Emergency Preparedness) project. The report is intended for persons
involved in radiological emergency response management. An introduction
is given to the technical basis of the mobile Internet and ongoing development
summarised. Examples are given describing how mobile Internet technology has
been used to improve monitoring media coverage of incidents and events, and a
test is described where web based information was selectively processed and
made available to WAP enabled mobile phones. The report concludes with recommendations
stressing the need for following mobile Internet developments
and taking them into account when designing web applications for radiological
response management. Doing so can make web based material accessible to
mobile devices at minimal additional cost.
