This paper surveys recent research on the use of sensor networks, communications and
computer systems to enhance the human outcome of emergency situations. Areas covered …

Voronoi diagrams partition space according to the influence certain sites exert on their
environment. Since the 17th century, such structures play an important role in many areas …

The frequency, destruction and costs of natural and human-made disasters in modern highly-
populated societies have resulted in research on emergency evacuation and wayfinding …

Get an In-Depth Understanding of Graph Drawing Techniques, Algorithms, Software, and
Applications The Handbook of Graph Drawing and Visualization provides a broad, up-to …

Delineating the tremendous growth in this area, the Handbook of Approximation Algorithms
and Metaheuristics covers fundamental, theoretical topics as well as advanced, practical …

In real sensor network deployments, spatial distributions of sensors are usually far from
being uniform. Such networks often contain regions without enough sensor nodes, which we …

We consider a two-tiered Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consisting of sensor clusters
deployed around strategic locations and base-stations (BSs) whose locations are relatively …

A critical aspect of crowds' evacuation processes is the dynamism of individual decision
making. Identifying optimal strategies at an individual level may improve both evacuation …

We propose a novel localized algorithm that constructs a bounded degree and planar
spanner for wireless ad hoc networks modeled by unit disk graph (UDG). Every node only …

We propose several novel localized algorithms to construct energy efficient routing
structures for homogeneous wireless ad hoc networks, where all nodes have same …
