Online Social Networking Sites (SNS) enable collaborative information sharing and help build resilient communities in areas exposed to risk. This paper reviews existing research on community vulnerability and resilience, and explores the role of communication in fostering strong community networks. The paper draws upon examples of SNS used to share information and explores how such technology m...

Distributions of the resilience of transport networks are studied numerically, in particular the large-deviation tails. Thus, not only typical quantities like average or variance but the distributions over the (almost) full support can be studied. For a proof of principle, a simple transport model based on the edge-betweenness and three abstract yet widely studied random network ensembles are c...

Embedded systems typically have limited processing and storage capabilities, may only intermittently be powered on. After sending an event upstreams with data from its sensors, the system must therefore able to trust that data, once acknowledged, is not lost. The purpose of this work propose a novel solution for replicating between nodes in such systems, minimal effect on software architecture....
