Path Planning for First Responders in the Presence of Moving Obstacles With Uncertain Boundaries

In this paper, we study path planning for first responders in the presence of uncertain moving obstacles. To support the path planning, in our research we use hazard simulation to provide the predicted information of moving obstacles. A major problem in using hazard simulation is that the simulation results may involve uncertainty due to...

Managing Large Multidimensional Array Hydrologic Datasets: A Case Study Comparing NetCDF and SciDB

Management of large hydrologic datasets including storage, structuring, indexing and query is one of the crucial challenges in the era of big data. This research originates from a specific data query problem: time series extraction at specific locations takes a long time when a large multidimensional dataset is stored in non-chunked NetCDF...
