Coordenação é um dos principais problemas em sistemas multiagentes, além de também desempenhar um papel essencial na gestão de desastres. A alocação de tarefas é uma fase importante do problema de coordenação, já que a decomposição de um objetivo em tarefas é a forma mais natural para se organizar o trabalho entre agentes. Nesse artigo, é proposta uma abordagem híbrida de alocação de tarefas pa...

extended abstract 1. introduction one of the important issues in crisis management is providing settlement and help to the injured. in fact, the location of rescue and help centers should be designed in such a way that after the incident, there is the best chance ofgiving response to victims. in this regard, one of the important tasks of urban planners is to identify suitable locations for evac...

trauma is a leading cause of death and disability especially amongst young people. road traffic crash–related death, injury, and chronic disability continue to be a major worldwide burden to drivers, pedestrians and users of mass transit, especially in low- and middle-income countries(lmic). projections predict worsening of this burden, and while motorization of lmic increases exponentially, a ...

Genetic rescue can increase the fitness of small, imperiled populations via immigration. A suite of studies from the past decade highlights the value of genetic rescue in increasing population fitness. Nonetheless, genetic rescue has not been widely applied to conserve many of the threatened populations that it could benefit. In this review, we highlight recent studies of genetic rescue and pla...

We present a multimodal interaction framework suitable for a human rescuer that operates in proximity with a set of co-located drones during search missions. This work is framed in the context of the SHERPA project whose goal is to develop a mixed ground and aerial robotic platform to support search and rescue activities in a real-world alpine scenario. Differently from typical human-drone inte...

The fire and rescue services are called to the scene of almost all serious accidents. The purpose of this investigation was to find out whether the information they obtain in the course of their normal operations can be used to improve experience feedback from accidents. 1120 incident reports from two local Swedish fire and rescue services were studied. These reports contained 217 proposals for...
