As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication and sensor networks
continue, more opportunities are open to first responders and critical infra-
structures to benefit from these technologies. Providing first responders with
the best possible technology, infrastructure and services help save the lives
of the general public and the  first responders as well. One of the main 
challenges to the operations of first responders and critical infrastructures
is to deploy a communication network that is dependable, secure, and rapidly
deployable. In order to operate effectively, the deployed network supports
services such as location determination, audio and video communication, and in
site and remote sensing. Another key feature for first responders and critical
infrastructures networks is to support interactions among multiple heterogen-
eous networks.
