Since most published software engineering standards had been developed by and for large organizations, most Very Small Entities (VSEs) did not have the expertise to adapt or tailor those software engineering standards to meet their needs. The ISO/IEC 29110 series of standards and guides was specifically developed for VSEs developing software. Many countries that had not participated to international standard development, decided to join the ISO working group mandated to develop the ISO/IEC 29110 series. Since the ISO/IEC 29110 engineering and management guides are easily understandable and freely available, it has greatly helped their adoption. More than 17 countries, such as Colombia, Brazil, Haiti, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru and Thailand are teaching ISO/IEC 29110. ISO/IEC 29110 has been used by many students to develop their first products. Many countries have adopted ISO/IEC 29110 as a national standard. A few countries are helping their VSEs in the adoption, implementation and certification activities with government programs. Low cost independent certification and assessment schemes allow VSEs to demonstrate recognition of their competences to local and international customers and partners.","PeriodicalId":284183,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126280578","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}

RHM consists of a front end mobile app supported by a backend cloud server, datacenter, and physical storage unit (local datacenter). The front end app mainly interacts with Zephyrs HxM BT and other Bluetooth-enabled sensors to record a patients heart rate, respiratory rate intervals, blood pressure signal, bloods saturated Oxygen (SPO2), temperature, physical exercises data (speed and location). The collected data is interpreted by the app and sent via data carrier service to a server in a cloud or to a private datacenter via a virtual private network (VPN). The data can also be sent to a near by access point connected to a datacenter at a local hospital via WiFi JSON/HTTP protocol. The backend cloud and data centers serve as a repository where the collected data is compiled into a database. Health practitioners can easily access the relevant data over the course of a schedule appointment or when emergencies arise. The system also maps routes and can find local clinics and pharmacies for its users and helps practitioners quickly locate their patients and dispatch any necessary support.","PeriodicalId":284183,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132401573","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}

Studying the effects of anthropogenic activity on lake whitefish is of utmost importance to ensure this species remains viable in its environment for sustainable harvest. One analysis tool that is frequently used for ecological population risk assessments are agent-based models (ABMs), in which the population is represented as a network of heterogeneous individual agents that interact with one another and their environment. However, in an ABM that incorporates a high level of biological detail to model a large population moving within a spatial environment over time, significant computation is required to manage, manipulate, and store the relevant data for each agent over successive time iterations. We introduce a new approach to ABMs known as environmental ABMs (enviro-ABMs) to reduce this computational expense and simulation runtime. Specifically, we divide the environment into a collection of spatially indexed cells and treat each of these as a single agent, allowing fish to move from one contiguous cell to another. This reduces the computational requirements to a limited number of active cells. In addition to more predictable computational requirements, this method keeps all fish sorted by age and location for efficient mortality, spawning, and harvest operations, and reduces the amount of computational overhead needed. Applying the enviro-ABM to our case study in Lake Huron, we demonstrate how it can be used to model anthropogenic activities and stressors that may affect lake whitefish, and how the model can be used to facilitate fisheries management decision making. While the model is applied specifically to the case of whitefish in Lake Huron, it can be generalized to conduct risk assessment for other species in a variety of habitats.","PeriodicalId":284183,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115495123","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, in extraordinary circumstances such as catastrophes, cellular infrastructure could be severely damaged; therefore, coverage is lost. For this reason, device-to-device (D2D) communication emerged as a promising technology to maintain wireless connectivity especially for search and rescue missions. This paper presents a review on recent advances in D2D communications regarding public safety applications such as search and rescue missions, coverage extension, and road safety. In search and rescue missions, discovery of devices in impacted areas can be achieved by other devices that have access to the cellular network. Moreover, the close proximity among mobile devices enables high data rate provisioning thus allowing rescue teams to send real-time high quality video and image reports to control centers. Cellular coverage can also be extended using relays such as drones that could play a significant role in coverage extension in extraordinary conditions. Furthermore, the safety of roads can be highly improved with vehicle-type communications, whereby information among vehicles are exchanged to avoid collisions.","PeriodicalId":284183,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127444147","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}

With a traditional cellular service provider, when somebody (Alice) wants to send a text message to someone else (Bob), the message is sent from Alice's phone to a cellular network and then finally to Bob. This process happens regardless if they are located on opposite sides of the world or are in the same room. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a peer-to-peer (P2P) network which will route text messages along the shortest reliable path. By “shortest path” we mean that if Alice and Bob's phones are in wireless range of each other, the message passes only through their phones over the wireless link. If Alice and Bob are located further apart and their wireless radios are out of range, then a repeater node which can be reached by both Alice and Bob can be deployed and the message will pass through this node, again taking the shortest path. The network can be deployed with inexpensive off-the-shelf microcomputers, such as the Raspberry Pi, which can run off batteries in the event of a power outage. These nodes can be easily deployed and need not be trusted as the messages are encrypted and signed. During our tests, we were able to send text messages across a building over our mesh-network composed of five Raspberry Pi microcomputers running our software and using ad-hoc Wi-Fi for neighbour-to-neighbour links.","PeriodicalId":284183,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130650698","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}
