Mission St at ement To save lives and minimize damage f rom disast ers t hrough t imely prevent ion, det ect ion, predict ion, and coordinat ion. Enabled by breakt hroughs in ubiquit ous sensing/ act uat ion, comput at ion, analysis and communicat ion syst ems. CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 2 2

Technical Challenges ext reme environment s and real-t ime response ! Embedded mult i-modal sensor/ act uat or syst ems archit ect ure ! Sensor/ act uat or & communicat ion services ! Sensor inf ormat ion f usion, analysis ! Coordinat ed response CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 3 3

Embedded mult i-modal sensor / act uat or syst ems archit ect ure ! Syst ems t hat combine inst alled, st rat egically deployed, and mobile nodes t o sense and respond t o disast ers and f ollow- on event s ! Rapid and adapt ive conf igurat ion ! Adapt ive and collabor at ive sensing/ act uat ion among r esource- const rained devices (BW, st orage, power) ! Biocompat ible devices f or medical assessment , delivery CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 4 4

Sensor/ act uat or & communicat ion services ! Localizat ion and mapping (of vict ims, rescuer s, resources,… ) ! Resource mobilizat ion (e.g., robot s, sensor s, act uat or s) ! Real t ime response ! Secure, robust , communicat ion syst ems » Recovery f rom f ault y net works » Reconf igurable net works (self -*) CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 5 5

Sensor inf ormat ion processing ! I nf ormat ion f ood chain » Calibrat ion of devices » From signals t o inf ormat ion » Fusion of mult iple sensor modalit ies » Learning usual and unusual pat t erns ! I nt egrat ion wit h ext ernal inf ormat ion sources » e.g. building blueprint s, ut ilit ies plan, t ransport at ion syst ems, individuals as sensors » Mining and analysis across het erogeneous, unreliable dat a bases ! Modeling, predict ion, planning, and visualizat ion of environment changes due t o disast er » e.g., st ruct ure collapse, micro-met eorology, “what if ” scenarios CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 6 6

Coordinat ing Response (I ncident Command Response ) ! Command and cont rol » logist ics, t racking » st at us repor t ing » dynamic device and resource reconf igurat ion ! Communicat ion » dat a disseminat ion » language t ranslat ion ! I nt erf aces » st ressed-user int erf aces » mult iple visualizat ion f ormat s CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 7 7

Met rics f or Success ! Saved lives ! I nj ury mit igat ion ! Response-t ime reduct ion ! Cost per response ! Mort alit y of rescuers ! Rat e of Technology adopt ion ! I ncrease in prevent ing disast ers CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 8 8

Social Barriers ! Monit oring concerns » Privacy » I nvasiveness ! Trust of t he syst em » Saf et y » Rescue personnel resist unproven t echnology CRA Grand Challenges. CRA Grand Challenges. 9 9

Spin-of f s: From React ive t o Proact ive Prevent at ive healt h care (e.g., eldercare) ! Prevent ing incipient and secondary disast ers (e.g., ! st ruct ural int egrit y monit oring) Cont aining environment al degradat ion (e.g., ! cont aminant s, CO 2 , biodiversit y… ) I nt elligent t ransport at ion syst ems ! Smart spaces (e.g., classrooms) ! Accelerat ed deployment of ubiquit ous comput ing t o improve qualit y of lif e CRA Grand Challenges. 10 CRA Grand Challenges. 10
