  • Hand-Off Plan
    Hand-Off Plan Trauma Ready Web Portal 1. The administrator portal is hosted at: https://statt-portal.herokuapp.com/. ​ ​ 2. It acts as an interface for administrators to create, read, update, and destroy information stored in the database. All changes made here are propagated to the mobile app instantaneously. 3. Administrators will need proper authentication to gain access to this information. New administrators can be registered for a username and password only through the dashboard of a current administrator. 4. Heroku is a cloud-based platform service provider on which the backend of the application currently runs. Here the server code connects with a MongoDB database using "mLab MongoDB.” To view the mLab interface, one need only login to Heroku, click on the link to the given application (named comp523-statt-web-portal), click on the resources header, and finally click on the ​ link "mLab MongoDB." 5. The login information to Heroku and ownership of the account are, at the completion of the semester, handed over to the client for their possession and management. Mobile App To run the mobile application for demonstration purposes, first download the Expo ​ ​ mobile application from the App Store or Google Play. Then, go to https://exp.host/@trauma-statt/trauma-ready and scan the QR code to run the program ​ through the Expo app. 1 We have published the application to the Google Play Store under an Internal Testing/Alpha track. The google account used for this project is the same as the one that manages the Developer Account. To download this application, the user must have their Gmail account added to the list of Testers (the Client has been provided the method for doing this) and sent the Opt-in URL to download the application from the Google Play Store.

The availability of computing nodes and wireless cards in a laboratory sophisticated network simulation tools, such a NS2 setting is also very difficult [NRL]. Outdoor field tests and GloMoSim, has allowed researchers to study of mobile ad hoc networks reveal realistic use case MANETs without purchasing the mobile nodes scenarios and can validate expected results under real- themselves or conducting costly and time-consuming world conditions, but these test can be prohibitively field trial tests [PAPAD, HU, ZAPAT].
