 Supporting  things globally online is very easy and popular at the moment. There  are Systems like Google+1;FaceBook Like and Flatter - to just name 3.  Offlike  aims to extend this pattern to local "offline" things. By placing  QR-Codes ( or later NFC ) on real places with real problems - and giving  the user the option to support this thing we hope to increase  involvement with problems that matter for you - localy - offline . 

 

A Common Solution Framework which consists of various modules, each of these modules perform a atomic task which in collaboration address each of the above issues. The various modules\parts of the system include * Service Request Handler : Handles all incoming service request of a end user. A Service can be request for delivery of water.* Complaint Request Handler: Handles all incoming complaints.* Scheduler : Handles a schedule for servicing the request.* Service Tracker: Tracks the service request life cycle. And invokes proper methods in-case a service is not catered within a given time. A user can access this system through SMS, USSD or a Native Mobile Application(In-case of a Smart Phone). 

Digital meters send data to server that sends this information not only to manger as SMS and emails but also to screen for all workers to see which line have defect. The worker could justify the reason of the overrun through tablet system, and this system will propagate it again to the manager. The manager could accept or reject the worker’ justification. The system also will calculate the footprint for each branch. Water footprint of an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of freshwater used to produce the goods and services consumed by the individual or community or produced by the business. Water use is measured in water volume consumed and/or polluted per unit of time.

Collecting data relevant to Farmer needs to make subjective decisions that save on various resources such as fertilizers, usage of water, and pesticides. This data should be analyzed and recommended actions to be sent to the farmer through mobile platforms. Cloud based infrastructures will be leveraged to empower farmers to make use of the solutions in an economical cost.

Early Warning Remote Sensing for Water Table Management. By Shaimaa Ahmed Graduate student at AUC Ground water is a valuable resource that requires a mentoring system to alert decision makers, NGOs and researchers about any pollution or risky head drops. The solution is a development of a sensing ball that is used to create 3d map of the underground cave. The development includes hardware, software and sensors. These developments are: 1-Adding new hardware and Software that calculate the difference in head or change in water quality parameters. 2- Fixed sensors that communicating with a moving sensor and they communicate with the surface of the ground and via satellite connection, the new data reach central servers. 3- create 3d maps on web and cell phone applications 4- part of the energy in the ball is conserved because the head calculation is based on the velocity of the ground water movements. 5- A grid of well is required to manage this real time movement. 6- Collect water samples that assist in water biological assessments. This solution works within the national border of a single country and it assist to manage ground water resources among different countries.

Touch is a software that targets 3 main aspects of humanity's vulnerabilities to threats and disasters, both natural and human caused. It permits the free communication of information in the society but also tries to protect the same society by involving the different police departments and humanitarian agencies all over the globe. It was initially designed to solve 6 problem definitions of Rhok3 (http://www.rhok.org) 1. OneCrisis 2. Automatic Geo-Tagging of social media status update 3. All Hazards Search 4. NGO collaaboration Space 5. Urgent Needs Center 6. Disaster Safe but finally thanks to GOD, it came to resolve more than expected. It solves more than 7 problem definitions found in Rhok3. Some of these problem definitions details are given below: For: - All Hazards Search: Citizens typically are unaware of all the hazards where they live, work or play. They need a simple online search to get a map of all the hazards at a certain location as well as a written description of each. Emergency Management can then provide information on how the citizen can mitigate those hazards and reduce their risk. - NGO collaboration Space: NGOs would have either a widget that they could integrate into a cloud-based logistics management application or an easy to access website where they could quickly provide information per sector on where they are operating or what they are doing. Entering this information could take place from either a mobile device or a website, and needs to be extremely easy. - Another problem: Person Finder via Voice & Image: In case of japan earthquake, this system could help.a lot of missing people could found via this system.if someone find any person that needs help and seems to be missed, simply must record his voice and take a picture from his face and then upload to our website.we test these voice and image files with created models of every profiles and if any match occurs, we'll give the profile information to the uploader of the voice and image.we can get uploader 's email and send an email whenever we had a match in our models in future. Thanks for the time you have taken to read this summary, I hope it inspired you. Be blessed. Rweze Florian, Software Developer and Business Entrepreneur

Crowd source earthquake intensity maps provide disaster managers and the public with real-time information on the intensity of earthquakes while also giving earthquake researchers valuable data to help estimate the shaking from future earthquakes. The goal was to create a smartphone app/website that will allow users to report earthquake shaking intensity and building damage information via their smartphone.

Prototype:

We are introducing the Red Cross Census project, which aims to capitalize on the technological progress by using devices with mobile connectivity and extended battery duration (when compared to more complex devices such as notebooks), because, we think, mobile devices can be used more efficiently in such a situation.
By using mobile devices, the census and resource assessment can be made faster, eliminating the process of the handwritten data along with the following spreadsheet creation.
After the first step of censusing is complete, the data is saved is sent to the Argentinian Red Cross Disaster Management Center, which is in charge of collecting the needed resources.
By using modern technologies like QR codes or RFID, resource distribution is more efficient.
Take the following as an example:

A volunteer uses his or her device to collect data for every person in the disaster zone.
The mobile application generates a QR code or configures an RFID tag, in order to speed up the identification of each person in case of emergency in the disaster zone, such as a person developing a critical medical condition on site.
The code or tag is also used in the distribution of resources: for each resource a person needs, he or she is given a reusable card representing a resource item. The card is coded in a way that, upon distribution of the resources, that card is marked as used for that emergency response and cannot be used again until cleared. This also speeds up distribution, because, today, a group of volunteers are required to check every person in the line in a paper spreadsheet, check their needs, and finally cross them out when the process is complete. By using our system, the process would simply be to scan the person’s code or tag, scan the item’s code or card, and the system does the rest, checking if the person really needs that resource, checking whether he or she has already received it, and marking needs already satisfied.

Using wireless connectivity like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, multiple devices in a hot zone communicate between themselves, exchanging information, in order to prevent abuses of the system.
