DESCRIPTION:Quick response is critical during an emergency situation. We w
 ill present a system based on mobile electronic triage tags that makes vic
 tim information available at the base of operations as soon as possible\, 
 thus allowing an early medical resource allocation and immediate action. T
 he cornerstone of the system is mobile agent technology\, which allows inf
 ormation to be transported asynchronously and reliably from terminal to te
 rminal and not requiring any network infrastructure at all. This novel app
 roach is ready to be used in the worst case scenario\, where only small ha
 ndheld devices carried by the emergency personnel are available\, but also
  integrates well when synchronous connections are possible\, for instance 
 when a mesh network can be created. The system has been successfully imple
 mented\, showing the feasibility of the proposal. By using this low-budget
  system\, the number of casualties during the triage stage of an emergency
  is expected to drop off
