Bisimulation for Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (CPDPs)
Abstract. CPDPs (Communicating Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes) can be used for compositional specification of systems from the class of stochastic hybrid processes forme...

Securing the Dissemination of Emergency Response Data with an Integrated Hardware-Software Architecture
During many crises, access to sensitive emergency-support information is required to save lives and property. For example, for effective evacuations first responders need the name...

Robust Location Detection in Emergency Sensor Networks
— We propose a new framework for providing robust location detection in emergency response systems, based on the theory of identifying codes. The key idea of this approach is to ...
