The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project potentially include dramatically improved emergency-response systems for public safety in a number of different scenarios ranging from active shooter threats in college or enterprise campuses, emergencies involving fire or police departments, medical response teams in indoor hospital buildings or outdoor settings. The commercial impact of this effort is to potentially transform the mass alerting market today. The planned customer research will also help inform and enhance the underlying networking and distributed systems technology for agile contextual communication and, in the longer term, fundamentally advance our understanding of how to realize a next-generation Internetwork, research on which contributed to the origins of the underlying contextual communication technology driving this I-Corps project.This I-Corps project activity builds upon contextual communication, a technology that enables powerful new mobile communication capabilities that are highly customizable to the needs or preferences of individual users or groups. For example, in the event of a campus emergency, emergency managers can send hyperlocal alerts to specific buildings based on real-time locations of users, and such alerts can be further customized to special needs of users trapped in the building. The underlying research advances making contextual communication practical originated from a "future Internet architecture" project that showed that it is possible to generalize name- or IP-address-based communication in today's Internet to communication based on arbitrary contextual attributes such as geo-location, age, and special needs. Research results show that it is possible to provide contextual communication services in a scalable (or cost-effective), privacy-preserving, and accurate manner for a broad class of mobile applications, including but not limited to emergency notification, an application domain of particular interest to this I-Corps customer research project.

该 I-Corps 项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力可能包括在许多不同场景中显着改进公共安全紧急响应系统，包括大学或企业校园中的主动枪击威胁、涉及消防或警察部门、医疗响应团队的紧急情况在室内医院建筑或室外环境中。这项工作的商业影响可能会改变当今的大众警报市场。计划中的客户研究还将有助于为敏捷上下文通信提供信息和增强底层网络和分布式系统技术，并从长远来看，从根本上增进我们对如何实现下一代互联网的理解，这些研究有助于推动下一代互联网的起源。推动该 I-Corps 项目的基础情境通信技术。该 I-Corps 项目活动以情境通信为基础，该技术可实现强大的新移动通信功能，并且可根据个人用户或团体的需求或偏好进行高度定制。例如，在校园发生紧急情况时，应急管理人员可以根据用户的实时位置向特定建筑物发送超本地警报，并且可以根据被困在建筑物中的用户的特殊需求进一步定制此类警报。使上下文通信变得实用的基础研究进展源自“未来互联网架构”项目，该项目表明可以将当今互联网中基于名称或 IP 地址的通信推广到基于任意上下文属性（例如地理位置、年龄和特殊需求。研究结果表明，可以以可扩展（或具有成本效益）、保护隐私和准确的方式为广泛的移动应用程序提供上下文通信服务，包括但不限于紧急通知、特定应用领域对这个 I-Corps 客户研究项目感兴趣。
