Climate change is amplifying extreme precipitation events in many regions and imposes substantial challenges for the resilience of road drainage infrastructure. Conventional design storm methodologies, which rely on historical trends of…
Nowadays, almost all electronic devices include a communication interface that allows to interact with them, exchange data, or operate their services remotely. The trend toward increased interconnectivity simultaneously increases the…
Pipelines tubes are part of vital mechanical systems largely used in petrochemical industries. They serve to transport natural gases or liquids. They are cylindrical tubes and are submitted to the risks of corrosion due to high PH…
Assessing climate risk and its potential impacts on our cities and economies is of fundamental importance. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and storm surges can lead to catastrophic damages. We propose a flexible approach…
Air Quality Monitoring and Forecasting has been a popular research topic in recent years. Recently, data-driven approaches for air quality forecasting have garnered significant attention, owing to the availability of well-established data…
This monograph presents a comprehensive analysis of the technological foundations of management decision-making in the reconstruction of complex gas pipeline systems. The study addresses the challenges posed by the aging infrastructure of…
Monitoring time between events (TBE) is a critical task in industrial settings. Traditional Statistical Process Monitoring (SPM) methods often assume that TBE variables follow an exponential distribution, which implies a constant failure…
Extreme events, such as rogue waves, earthquakes and stock market crashes, occur spontaneously in many dynamical systems. Because of their usually adverse consequences, quantification, prediction and mitigation of extreme events are highly…
The study aims to decrease gas loss and enhance system reliability during gas pipeline accidents. A computational scheme has been developed that can enable the elimination of gas leakage through the modeling and management of parallel gas…
Virtual representations of physical critical infrastructures, such as water or energy plants, are used for simulations and digital twins to ensure resilience and continuity of their services. These models usually require 3D point clouds…
A leading goal for climate science and weather risk management is to accurately model both the physics and statistics of extreme events. These two goals are fundamentally at odds: the higher a computational model's resolution, the more…
Research on environmental risk modeling relies on numerous indicators to quantify the magnitude and frequency of extreme climate events, their ecological, economic, and social impacts, and the coping mechanisms that can reduce or mitigate…
With climate change intensifying, urban waterlogging poses an increasingly severe threat to global public safety and infrastructure. However, existing monitoring approaches rely heavily on manual reporting and fail to provide timely and…
Studying extreme events and how they evolve in a changing climate is one of the most important current scientific challenges. Starting from complex climate models, a key difficulty is to be able to run long enough simulations in order to…
Thousands of human lives are lost every year around the globe, apart from significant damage on property, animal life, etc., due to natural disasters (e.g., earthquake, flood, tsunami, hurricane and other storms, landslides, cloudburst,…
Evolutionary change over time in the context of data pipelines is certain, especially with regard to the structure and semantics of data as well as to the pipeline operators. Dealing with these changes, i.e. providing long-term maintenance,…
We present a novel statistical treatment, the "metastatistics of extreme events", for calculating the frequency of extreme events. This approach, which is of general validity, is the proper statistical framework to address the problem of…
The safety and resilience of civil infrastructure systems are increasingly threatened by compounded risks from various hazard events and structural deterioration due to environmental stressors. This study presents a comprehensive…
In the never-ending quest for tools that enable an ISP to smooth troubleshooting and improve awareness of network behavior, very much effort has been devoted in the collection of data by active and passive measurement at the data plane and…
The marine environment is one of the most important sources for microbial biodiversity on the planet. These microbes are drivers for many biogeochemical processes, and their enormous genetic potential is still not fully explored or…
