چکیده

The dynamic problem of enclosing an expanding fire can be modelled by a discrete variant in a grid graph. While the fire expands to all neighbouring cells in any time step, the fire fighter is allowed to block c cells in the average outside the fire in the same time interval. It was shown that the success of the fire fighter is guaranteed for c > 1.5 but no strategy can enclose the fire for c ≤ 1.5. For achieving such a critical threshold the correctness (sometimes even optimality) of strategies and lower bounds have been shown by integer programming or by direct but often very sophisticated arguments. We investigate the problem whether it is possible to find or to approach such a threshold and/or optimal strategies by means of evolutionary algorithms, i.e., we just try to learn successful strategies for different constants c and have a look at the outcome. The main general idea is that this approach might give some insight in the power of evolutionary strategies for similar geometrically motivated threshold questions. We investigate the variant of protecting a highway with still unknown threshold and found interesting strategic paradigms.

Applying AI technology and rough set theory for mining association rules to support crime management and fire-fighting resourc

The missions for the police and fire fighters are to protect for public safety and to fight and prevent from fires, respectively. In this dynamic environment, however, there are many potential dangers and uncertain factors that can’t be predicted. In order to improve the total performance, some rules extracted from criminal and fire-fighting records are needed. The purpose of this paper is to m...
