Future developments in AI and robotics, brain interfaces, the Internet and virtual and augmented reality, will make possible new types of integration of humans and machines which will change how we think, learn and live. This paper uses a story about a future scenario involving systems of this kind to respond to crises and disasters to explore the possibilities of collective intelligence and co...

Abstract A quasi–second-order scheme is developed to obtain approximate solutions of the two-dimensional shallow water equations (SWEs) with bathymetry. The based on a staggered finite volume space discretization: scalar unknowns are located in discretization cells while vector edges mesh. monotonic upwind-central for conservation laws (MUSCL)-like interpolation discrete convection operators he...
