Dedicated IT infrastructure for Smart Levee Monitoring and Flood Decision Support

A Spatial Decision Support System for Flood Risk Monitoring

Flooding is a natural phenomenon that has increasing impact on people and their environment. This is very evident that in the devastation wrought by rising waters inundating homes and farms in East Africa. Flooding only serves to exacerbate the crisis faced by people of that region as they struggle against famine and civil war. A spatial decision support system was designed and used to simulate...

strategic management in decision support system for coastal flood management

the management and analysis of flood hazards is of great socio- economic and ecological importance as it was estimated that 50 percent of word’s population resides and works within the costal zone till 2030. the management of coastal flood hazard reflects the cumulative effects and criteria more than the human mind can handle effectively. the flood management requires decision making for rela...

Development of a Multiscale Monitoring and Health Assessment Framework for Effective Management of Levee Infrastructure

This paper presents an overview of a framework to assess the structural integrity and health of earthen levees. The framework is being developed through a project supported by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and relies on remote sensing and field monitoring data of levees during environmental loading conditions and natural processes of degradation. The monitoring data cons...

Sensor Selection for IT Infrastructure Monitoring

Supervisory control is the main means to assure a high level performance and availability of large IT infrastructures. Applied control theory is used in physical and virtualization based clustering, autonomic-, self-healing and cloud computing, but similar problems arise in any distributed environment. The selection of a compact, but sufficiently characteristic set of control variables is one o...
