Semantic architecture for sensors

Based on the report for the unit “Sociology of New Information Technologies” of the Master on Computer Sciences at FCT/University Nova Lisbon in 2015-16. The responsible of this curricular unit is Prof. António MonizTechnological progress in recent years and the increase of Internet of things (IoT) in our daily life brought a huge flood of data that can only be handle, processed and exploited in real-time with the help of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The ICT is one main element in order to achieve more efficient and sustainable an environment resource management, while the needs of the citizens are satisfied, creating new applications to improve citizen’s quality life. The creation of new systems that allow the acquisition of context information, automatically and transparently, and give that information to decision support systems are important aspects for information societies. In this paper it will be presented the usability and importance of sensors to get information from our environment in order to know what and when happen changes around us as well as the importance of ontologies in the structure and organization of the systems, to acquire new knowledge

ベトナムにおける危機管理従事者の情報伝達能力向上のための訓練手法改善

The research firstly provides a review on key policy, exercise program and government structures on Vietnamese emergency management. Then, environmental hazards related to port activities are identified that facilitate to choose emergency exercise topics. Methods on exercise design and evaluation are developed for better understanding issues of communication through table-top and functional exercise. These methods have been applied for several case studies in Haiphong city, Vietnam (oil spill and fire accident at port, rescue at hospital, fire at chemical warehouse), and Kitakyushu city, Japan (medical service in earthquake). As results, communication structures among stakeholders are visualized and clearly defined in table-top excised. Use of time element for functional exercise provides quantitative evidences for capturing communication issues and providing clues for improvement. The research is expected to be useful material for emergency managers to enhance communication in emergency management北九州市立大
