—This paper presents a distributed algorithm to direct evacuees to exits through arbitrarily complex building layouts in emergency situations. The algorithm finds the safest pat...
— We introduce a novel strategy for data processing in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in the case of emergency fire evacuation with stringent delay constraints. Such networks sh...
Group elevator scheduling has long been recognized as an important problem for building transportation efficiency, since unsatisfactory elevator service is one of the major complai...
Abstract. Evacuation planning is critical for numerous important applications, e.g. disaster emergency management and homeland defense preparation. Efficient tools are needed to pr...
The wireless sensor network community approached netabstractions as an open question, allowing answers to emerge with time and experience. The Trickle algorithm has become a basic...
