The research in this paper is multi-discipline and is aimed to provide a distributed technological framework for crowd management, using Hajj as a case study. However the Hajj, being a multi-billion dollar activity is itself an area of research.

 Because of the real life applications of the framework provided here, the scope of this paper is industrial. Law &Order enforcing agencies as well as the organisers of large events like Kumbh or Hajj, would benefit from this research.

Some of the issues associated with the movement of Hajj pilgrims will be analysed in this discussion. There are far more issues associated with the Hajj than the ones which are listed here. The aim here is to include description of only those rituals and activities which are perceived to be problems in the scope of this paper and whose solutions are suggested. The rituals and activities are examined below.
