Query: SOS -- Self-Organization for Survival: Introducing fairness in emergency
  communication to save lives   Communication is crucial when disasters isolate communities of people and
rescue is delayed. Such delays force citizens to be first responders and form
small rescue teams. Rescue teams require reliable communication, particularly
in the first 72 hours, which is challenging due to damaged infrastructure and
electrical blackouts. We design a peer-to-peer communication network that meets
these challenges. We introduce the concept of participatory fairness: equal
communication opportunities for all citizens regardless of initial inequality
in phone battery charge. Our value-sensitive design approach achieves an even
battery charge distribution across phones over time and enables citizens to
communicate over 72 hours. We apply the fairness principle to communication in
an adapted standard Barabasi-Albert model of a scale-free network that
automatically (i) assigns high-battery phones as hubs, (ii) adapts the network
topology to the spatio-temporal battery charge distribution, and (iii)
self-organizes to remain robust and reliable when links fail or phones leave
the network. While the Barabasi-Albert model has become a widespread
descriptive model, we demonstrate its use as a design principle to meet values
such as fairness and systemic efficiency. Our results demonstrate that,
compared to a generic peer-to-peer mesh network, the new protocol achieves (i)
a longer network lifetime, (ii) an adaptive information flow, (iii) a fair
distribution of battery charge, and (iv) higher participation rates. Hence, our
protocol, Self-Organization for Survival ('SOS'), provides fair communication
opportunities to all citizens during a disaster through self-organization. SOS
enables participatory resilience and sustainability, empowering citizens to
communicate when they need it most.
