Abstract According to the final report of European Union OMC expert group on strengthening cultural heritage resilience for anthropogenic climate change, impacts particularly extreme weather events, in Europe have become increasingly evident recent years and are progressing at an unprecedented speed scale. Archaeological sites, museum collections, historical buildings structures affected, among others, by rising temperatures or heavy storms precipitation events. Deep scientific knowledge...
Abstract Crisis management exercises provide a unique opportunity to study situational awareness in real-time scenarios. However, the federated structure of large-scale crisis management, involving multiple decentralized teams, imposes additional challenges for researchers aiming capture comprehensive data. Moreover, since primary goal these is operational readiness rather than academic research, any experimental setup must be non-intrusive and place minimal extra-demand on participants. In...
TETRA – the Toolbox and mEthodology for waTeR based AI projectsThe development of modern efficient tools monitoring water resources is crucial ensuring sustainable availability this essential resource, which great value to both humanity environment. Events like fish die-off in Oder River underscore pressing need improved river protection. The project aims enable accelerate use artificial intelligence (AI) management. Additionally, bilateral collaboration German French companies...
Cultural Heritage (CH) (In the context of this paper, we consider cultural heritage built tangible heritage, such as buildings or monuments.) is an important source identity for humankind and needs to be conserved future generations. Climate change (CC) will morph environmental landscape, thus leading climate stress imposed on CH. Experts from different domains, including, but not limited to, material scientists, conservators managers collaborate find out how CC affects CH potentially...
Due to the increasing threat posed by crime, industrial espionage and even terrorism, video surveillance systems have become more important powerful during last years. While most commercially available be managed human operators, who constantly monitor all streams, several experimental from different research groups already include robust processing approaches for (semi-) automated surveillance. Still, activities focus on a sensororiented approach analytics of large distributed camera...
Abstract Crisis management is a challenging and interdisciplinary task in which various information must be acquired fused. In Germany, Civil Management usually organized into two parts: the organizational‐administrative division operative‐tactical division, are subordinate to authorities (political) leadership. To organize an efficient response, crisis staffs can called up. these administrative staffs, sources bundled, responsible experts collaborate exchange information. achieve common...
An increasing number of information systems integrate semantic data stores for managing ontologies. To access these knowledge bases most the available implementations provide application programming interfaces (APIs). The APIs normally do not support any kind network protocol or service interface. This works fine as long a monolithic system is developed. If need arises to such base into service-oriented architecture different approach needed. In this paper we propose an address issue. A...
Extraction and analysis of environmental information is very important, since it strongly affects everyday life. Nowadays there are already many free services providing in several formats including multimedia (e.g. map images). Although such presentation might be informative for humans, they complicate the automatic extraction processing underlying data. A characteristic example air quality pollen forecasts, which usually encoded image maps, while initial (numerical) pollutant concentrations...
Abstract Environmental and meteorological conditions are of utmost importance for the population, as they strongly related to quality life. Citizens increasingly aware this importance. This awareness results in an increasing demand environmental information tailored their specific needs background. We present platform that supports submission user queries orchestrates from complementary services generate personalized suggestions. The system discovers processes reliable data Web order convert...
<p>Climate change (CC) will morph the environmental landscape, thus leading to climate stress imposed on Cultural Heritage (CH). Especially, tangible CH, like castles, palaces, monuments and churches as well gardens are exposed CH effects. Such effects heat waves, flooding, higher sea level, just name a few.</p><p>The management preservation of such buildings whole sites, particularly in context CC, is complex task which authorities decision makers...
The safety and or security of drinking water can be threatened by natural disasters, accidents malevolent attacks. European FP7 project SAFEWATER aims at developing a comprehensive event detection management solution for mitigation against major deliberate, accidental CBRN related contaminations. New cost-effective C, B, RN sensors will developed. An innovative concept with broad network low-cost – "domestic sensors" (complementary to set in strategic locations) A technology platform provide...
The security of drinking water is increasingly being recognized as a major challenge for municipalities and utilities. In the event contamination, spreads rapidly before problem detected. Contaminated can induce epidemics, disrupt economic life create mass panics. SAFEWATER an EU-funded project that aims at developing comprehensive detection management solution management. implemented will rely on new currently existing sensors. A number innovative software components capture analyze data...
The management of heterogeneous sensor networks is a complex task. Moreover, such often form an isolated system that needs to be connected other network systems. Therefore, system-of-systems approach required. A registry the central part distributed network. In this paper, we describe how enhance registries with semantic technologies in order overcome some their limitations. Sensor Web Enablement standards Open Geospatial Consortium constitute consistent and flexible framework assure...
