Disaster management to reduce damages and losses is particularly important. Computations to predict the effect of an impending or prevailing disaster, i.e. urgent computing, can support civil protection services to make informed decisions that can improve the efficiency of mitigation activities and reduce the causalities and losses. Accessibility to underlying distributed resource sets should be possible from ubiquitous end user devices, especially in the chaotic environment that entails a disaster. The inherent unpredictability of disasters can render any best made plans to prepare resources in advance futile. It is thus essential to acquire the ability to swiftly organise a resource for urgent computing, commonly while facing uncertainty in computation requirements and dynamism of computing environments on heterogeneous distributed resources. These challenges have to be conquered for urgent computing to be successfully realised. A task-based ubiquitous approach established on top of a three layers architecture is recommended. This architecture allows a separation of concerns between the accessibility needs from the resource/environment and use case specific conditions. Heterogeneity of distributed resources and environments is managed by the task-based setup with a set of subtask functions. Four urgent managers are also introduced to administer the urgent computing requirements. The ultimate aim is to provide an urgent computer system framework for supporting time-critical computations for a wide array of use cases on heterogeneous distributed resources.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117066748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Increased urbanization and complexity of contemporary structures complicates emergency response procedures and decision making especially in indoor emergency situations where much of the information stays unrevealed to emergency managers prior to entering the scenes exposing risk to peoples' lives and assets. In addition, unfamiliarity with the indoor environments, limited visualization due to smoke, and collapsed and blocked areas all increase the difficulty of emergency response and rescue as well as unwanted wandering and uncertainty routing in indoor environments. To overcome such difficulties a new spatial city model is presented in this paper which enables integration of both indoor and outdoor GIS resulting in seamless spatial analysis and navigation between both areas. The model provides decision makers with detailed 3D indoor spatial, semantic, and geometric information that can be used to orient and navigate through the optimized paths inside buildings which would result in minimized rescue time. The proposed model is implemented using GIS tools for a case study building and the effectiveness of the model is discussed in the paper.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130963480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, many disasters also disrupt RANs. Disaster recovery networks connect survivors to the Internet again so that they can inform authorities about their situation, get information necessary for survival, and contact friends and family. In this paper we explain why a step-by-step guide in form of a mobile phone application will help survivors construct a multihop disaster recovery network of mobile phones. We develop a simple analytic model to describe how survivors should place mobile phones to relay transmissions over long distances. Then we set up a small scenario and compare our measurements to the analytic results. Our comparison shows that the analytic model only describes the general tendencies of channel quality and that it is necessary to measure the channel quality on each hop. As this measurement is too complex for an average disaster survivor we describe a step-by-step guide which can be implemented in a mobile phone application to guide survivors through the process of setting up a disaster recovery network. This mobile phone application would allow survivors to communicate with the each other and the outside world and thereby save lives in case of a disaster.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115526911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They, in fact, can successfully identify the main properties of large data-sets. However, a deep analysis of such networks is likely to generate information of little use due to their inherent complexity, as well as the inconsistencies of data modelled by them. In this paper, we discuss the evaluation of a method as part of ongoing research which aims to extract, assess and identify relevant information based on the mutual probabilistic relationships among the data captured by Big Data. In order to validate and support our approach, a large dataset capturing information on the seismological activity provided by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre is considered. We will show that this approach provides a scalable, accurate and useful tool to enhance the state of the art research within disaster management. The approach discussed in this paper further supports our effort to create a big data analytics tool aiming to extract actionable intelligence from a variety of big datasets.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128252902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially true in the aftermath of unpredictable disasters, when users report facts, descriptions and photos of the unfolding event. This material contains actionable information that can greatly help rescuers to achieve a better response to crises, but its volume and variety render manual processing unfeasible. This paper reports the experience we gained from developing and using a web-enabled system for the online detection and monitoring of unpredictable events such as earthquakes and floods. The system captures selected message streams from Twitter and offers decision support functionalities for acquiring situational awareness from textual content and for quantifying the impact of disasters. The software architecture of the system is described and the approaches adopted for messages filtering, emergency detection and emergency monitoring are discussed. For each module, the results of real-world experiments are reported. The modular design makes the system easy configurable and allowed us to conduct experiments on different crises, including Emilia earthquake in 2012 and Genoa flood in 2014. Finally, some possible functionalities relying on the analysis of multimedia information are introduced.","PeriodicalId":137087,"journal":{"name":"2015 2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131540820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
