This paper attempts to analyze the setup about the sudden event discourses. All the analysis is based on a large scale of events annotation. Paper gives an overview of events annotations. The event words, event arguments and event attributes are all necessary to annotate. It also does some analysis on the information structure of the texts and defines two information chains from the perspective of...
Faced with a bio-terrorist attack with an aerosolized pathogen preparation, an emergency manager will need to make medical resource allocations early in the aftermath, with large uncertainties in the estimates of the resource demand, and in ignorance of what subsequent attacks might occur at other sites. In this work we use earlier results on the reconstruction of bio-attacks from partial observations...
This paper presents a Monte-Carlo simulation tool based on stationary multi-agent system. The agents are constrained by physical characteristics and mechanics of blast waves. The proposed tool examines the impact of blast waves in an event of suicide bombing on human body. The tool is capable of assessing the impact of crowd formation patterns and their densities on the magnitude of injury and number...
This paper presents the science of suicide bombing under the framework of agent based simulation. It also explains the physics, explosive models, mathematics and the assumptions we need to create such a simulation. The work also describes human shields available in the crowd with partial and full coverage in both two dimensional and three dimensional environments. A virtual simulation tool has been...
This work is set to implement, test, analyze and measure agentspsila behavior and its consequences under extreme conditions like suicide bombing. The goals are to determine optimal crowd formations and architectural and geometrical recommendations which (when followed) will reduce the number of deaths and injuries in the crowd. Results indicate that the worst crowd formation is street, with 44% crowd...
Suicide bombing has become one of the most lethal and favorite modus-operandi of terrorist organizations around the world. While various attempts have been made to assess the impact of crowd density on suicide bomber effectiveness, the specifics of the actual crowd formation and orientation of the bomber with respect to the crowd has not been examined. A virtual simulation tool has been developed...
