1D: Performance and measurement
These research activities aim at defining the necessary performance criteria and accordingly researching techniques to measure the performance values online.
Examples of research topics are:
Specification of the performance indicators from various viewpoints applicable to different elements in disaster and emergency management (control room, tasks forces, etc.) and kinds (earthquakes, flooding, land slides, forest fires, tsunami, etc.). For example: Throughput, Time performance, Supply and demand performance, etc.
Generation of monitors
Distributed monitoring
Multi- language and system monitoring
Hierarchical measurements
Synchronization and timing of the measurement processes
Minimizing the side effects of monitoring
Detection of anomalies in measurements
Minimization of uncertainties through correlation and data fusion
Performance ontologies
Data gathering for improving performance analysis
Machine learning techniques to improve accuracy and precision in performance measurement
Design environments for performance monitoring systems
Simulation of performance monitoring systems
Gathering information from social media for social and psychological impact analysis.
Two values, fuzzy, and probabilistic evaluation of measurements
Coupling to formal analysis modules
Standardization of performance criteria and interfaces of the related modules
