Peer-to-peer (P2P) earthquake warning system based on collaborative sensing

We describe a completely new concept of earthquake warning. The collaborative system is based on distributed systems that are interconnected by a network like the Internet. Modern systems may have multiple sensors to detect movements. These sensors are integrated to detect a shock movement before the hard disk may be hurt. Another sensor for movement is the hard disk itself, due to its extreme precise spatial resolution, the readout process is very sensible to minor acceleration of the disk. We can collect all this data to understand the movement of the computer system. Since there are many other sources of acceleration beside an earth quake, we have to use the collective detection of many independent systems. For fast and efficient detection we describe a P2P (peer-to-peer) solution to solve this part. The fact that earthquakes generate different types of movement makes it in principle feasible to predict a major movement a few ten seconds before the disaster happens.
