Visible to the public Intelligent Agent Incident Command System

Within hazard and disaster response and recovery management, the National Incident Management System (NIMS) has become the dominant organizational model for incident response. The Incident Command System (ICS) provides report and operational templates that structure activities and resources during an incident or event. In an emergency situation, information can be sometimes contradictory and may even not be "clean".

Visible to the public Efficient Mapping and Management of Applications onto Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract:

The computing landscape is a richly-heterogeneous space including both fixed and mobile nodes with a large variety of sensing, actuation and computational capabilities (including mobile devices, home electronics, taxis, robotic drones, etc.). Cyber-physical applications built on these devices have the potential to gather data on, analyze, and adapt to or control a range of environments.

Visible to the public EAGER: Aerial Communication Infrastructure for Smart Emergency Response

Abstract:

The objective of this proposal is to exploit an early concept of a flexible, low-cost, and drone-carried broadband long-distance communication infrastructure and investigate its capability for immediate smart-city application in emergency response.
