The German Army proposed re-use of network enabled operations / network centric warfare for Humanitarian Operations early last decade..  this is not a new idea. The Heart Beacon as a network level timing and time stamping function that is system / application agnostic for uses such as setting start - stop delimiting time stamps for flash trading. Approach is based on setting predicable, disciplined and therefore reliable state meta data snapshots with the heartbeat TCP/IP sub protocol that are aggregated into heartbeat messages that describe organizational structure and intended changes to the organization's structure based on adhoc teaming or event / alert driven changes.  The heartbeat messages describe aggregated state meta data snapshots as pioneered by military network centric warfare / net enabled operations techniques.  Heartbeat messages are also used in financial and public safety e9-1-1  PSAP standards and therefore are a clear and present opportunity ot standardize and accelerate the rapid adoption of Cloud Computing (NIST Directive / NIST Portal).
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Helen Keller
