An evaluation of the information literacy of safety professionals

Information literacy has gradually become one of the necessary qualities in current and future safety practices. The calculation and assessment of information literacy of safety professionals is an effective way to understand their information literacy level. This paper, therefore, aims to evaluate the information literacy level of safety...

A method for fast evaluation of potential consequences of dam breach

Dam breach has catastrophic consequences for human lives and economy. In previous studies, empirical models are often, to a limited extent, due to the inadequacy of historical dam breach events. Physical models, which focus on simulating human behavior during floods, are not suitable for fast analysis of a large number of dams due to the...

Distributed heterogeneous systems for large-scale graph processing

Graph processing is increasingly popular in a variety of scientific and engineering domains. Consequently, graphs and graph-processing algorithms have become increasingly more diverse. Following the big data trend in every computer-related domain, graphs have also become increasingly larger. Processing graphs is requiring more sophisticated...
