Risk based optimization for improving emergency medical systems

S Saisubramanian, P Varakantham… - Proceedings of the AAAI …, 2015‏ - ojs.aaai.org
In emergency medical systems, arriving at the incident locationa few seconds early can save
a human life. Thus, this paper is motivated by the need to reduce the response time–time …

Collective diffusion over networks: Models and inference

A Kumar, D Sheldon, B Srivastava - arxiv preprint arxiv:1309.6841, 2013‏ - arxiv.org
