Coordination of first responders under communication and resource constraints

چکیده
This paper discusses the application of distributed constraint optimization to coordination in disaster management situations under sub-optimal network conditions. It presents an example system for the problem of shelter assignment and outlines some of the challenges and future research directions that must be addressed before real-world deployment of distributed constraint optimization becomes a reality.

SINGLE MACHINE DUE DATE ASSIGNMENT SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH PRECEDENCE CONSTRAINTS AND CONTROLLABLE PROCESSING TIMES IN FUZZY ENVIRONMENT
In this paper, a due date assignment scheduling problem with precedence constraints and controllable processing times in uncertain environment is investigated, in which the basic processing time of each job is assumed to be the symmetric trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the linear resource consumption function is used.The objective is to minimize the crisp possibilistic mean (or expected) value of...
متن کاملA novel mathematical model for a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem under buffer and resource limitations-A case study
Scheduling problems play a big role in manufacturing and planning the production for increasing the production efficiency and assigning the resources to operations. Furthermore, in many manufacturing systems there is a physical space between stages that called intermediate buffers. In this study, a model is proposed for minimizing the makespan of a hybrid flow shop scheduling problem with inter...
متن کاملCoordination of Communication in Distrihuted Sensing Systems
This paper describes an algorithm for coordination of communication of probabilistic information in distributed sensing systems. We envision the distributed sensing system as a team of observers, each of which observes locally and communicate with other members in order to improve its local estimation. Due to the limited communication bandwidth and constraints imposed by the network topology, c...
متن کاملTest and Evaluation of Patient Tracking Platform: Use of Near Field Communication
In an earthquake situation, medical response communities such as field and referral hospitals are being challenged with injured victims’ identification and tracking. In our project, we developed a patient tracking platform (PTP). In this platform, first responders triage the patients with an electronic tag that reports the location and some information of each patient during his or her movement...
متن کاملAn Application View of COORDINATORS: Coordination Managers for First Responders
COORDINATORs are coordination managers for fielded first responders. Each first response team is paired with a COORDINATOR coordination manager which is running on a mobile computing device. COORDINATORs provide decision support to first response teams by reasoning about who should be doing what, when, with what resource, in support of which other team, and so forth. COORDINATORs respond to the...
