Crisis response requires information intensive efforts utilized for reducing uncertainty, calculating and comparing costs and benefits, and managing resources in a fashion beyond those regularly available to handle routine problems. This…
Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are robots that are designed to replicate the role of a caregiver, coach, or teacher, providing emotional, cognitive, and social cues to support a specific group. SARs are becoming increasingly prevalent,…
A smart city solution toward future 6G network deployment allows small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), industry, and government entities to connect with the infrastructures and play a crucial role in enhancing emergency preparedness…
Individuals on social media may reveal themselves to be in various states of crisis (e.g. suicide, self-harm, abuse, or eating disorders). Detecting crisis from social media text automatically and accurately can have profound consequences.…
Early detection of significant traumatic events, e.g. a terrorist attack or a ship capsizing, is important to ensure that a prompt emergency response can occur. In the modern world telecommunication systems could play a key role in ensuring…
Most traditional alarm systems cannot address security threats in a satisfactory manner. To alleviate this problem, we developed a high-confidence cyber-physical alarm system (CPAS), a new kind of alarm systems. This system establishes the…
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), speech recognition systems (ASR), and machine learning have enabled the development of intelligent computer programs called chatbots. Many chatbots have been proposed to provide different…
Data breaches refer to unauthorized accesses to data. Typically but not always, data breaches are about cyber crime. An organization facing such a crime is often also in a crisis situation. Therefore, organizations should prepare also for…
The use of microblogging platforms such as Twitter during crises has become widespread. More importantly, information disseminated by affected people contains useful information like reports of missing and found people, requests for urgent…
We study mission-critical networking in wireless communication networks, where network users are subject to critical events such as emergencies and crises. If a critical event occurs to a user, the user needs to send necessary information…
In this work we consider three different cases of robot-robot interactions and resulting global information transfer in robot swarms. These mechanisms define cooperative properties of the system and can be used for designing collective…
Communication plays a major role in social systems. Effective communications, which requires transmission of the messages between individuals without disruptions or noise, can be a powerful tool to deliver intended impact. Language and…
Collaboration is a fundamental and essential characteristic of many complex systems, ranging from ant colonies to human societies. Each component within a complex system interacts with others, even at a distance, to accomplish a given task.…
Agriculture is facing a labor crisis, leading to increased interest in fleets of small, under-canopy robots (agbots) that can perform precise, targeted actions (e.g., crop scouting, weeding, fertilization), while being supervised by human…
WSNs can be considered a distributed control system designed to react to sensor information with an effective and timely action. For this reason, in WSNs it is important to provide real-time coordination and communication to guarantee…
A mobile agent is a software code with mobility which can be move from a computer into another computers through network. The mobile agent paradigm provides many benefits in developments of distributed application at the same time introduce…
The paper proposes an intermittent communication mechanism for the tracking consensus of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) surrounded by random disturbances. Each collaborating agent is described by a class of high-order…
The study discussed in this paper focuses on ICT use during disasters in Samoa and is a replicate of a study carried out in 2015. The study used a survey to explore how Samoan citizens use technology, act on different types of information,…
Developing industry-wide standards and ensuring producers of mission-critical systems comply with them is crucial to fostering consumer acceptance. Producers of such systems can rely on assurance cases to demonstrate to regulatory…
Objective: Emergency medical dispatch (EMD) is a high-stakes process challenged by caller distress, ambiguity, and cognitive load. Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) offer opportunities to augment dispatchers. This…
