Emergency planners, first responders and relief workers increasingly rely on computational
and communication systems that support all aspects of emergency management, from …

We describe a distributed simulation tool which addresses the unique needs for the
simulation of emergency response scenarios. The simulation tool adopts the multi-agent …

This paper presents a framework that aids contractors and safety managers in planning
labor evacuation for construction sites using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and …

Activity recognition in indoor spaces benefits context awareness and improves the efficiency
of applications related to personalised health monitoring, building energy management …

Responding to an emergency situation is a challenging and time critical procedure. The
primary goal is to save lives and this is directly related to the speed and efficiency at which …

While many systems and standards like CAD systems or CityGML permit the user to
represent the geometry and the semantics of building interior models, their use for …

The building construction stakeholders need to become more proactively involved in making
buildings resilient to a wide range of disaster threats (Bosher, 2013). Clients in particular can …

Emergency management is increasingly dependent on networks for information gathering,
coordination and physical system control, and consequently is increasingly vulnerable to …

A core mapping method for reconfigurable network-on-chip (NoC) architectures is presented
in this paper. In most of the existing methods, mapping is carried out based on the traffic …

Being able to detect in real-time the activity performed by a user in a home setting provides
highly valuable context. It can allow more effective use of novel technologies in a large …
