    Exploring the unknown through successive generations of low power and low resource versatile agents

    No full text
    The Phoenix1 project aims to develop a new approach to explore unknown environments, based on multiple measurement campaigns carried out by extremely tiny devices, called agents, that gather data through multiple sensors. These low power and low resource agents are configured specifically for each measurement campaign to achieve the exploration goal in the smallest number of iterations. Thus, the main design challenge is to build agents as much reconfigurable as possible. This paper introduces the Phoenix project in more details, and presents first developments in the agent design

    O artigo aborda as teorias dos Hazards e dos Desastres. Nos últimos anos estas duas tradições teóricas têm recebido novos impulsos pela renovação de seus marcos de referência conceitual. Construídas em torno de uma longa tradição de pesquisa empírica, estas teorias explicam os impactos provocados por fenômenos como enchentes, terremotos, tornados e epidemias mediante a integração analítica das dimensões natural e social. Neste sentido, seu estudo pode fornecer subsídios para a interpretação destes problemas no Brasil.<br>The article deals with the theory of hazards and disasters. Over the past years, these two theoretical traditions have received new impulse through the renovation of their conceptual foundations. Constructed around a long tradition of empirical research, these theories explain the impacts brought by phenomena like floods, earthquakes, tornadoes and epidemics through the analytical integration of social and natural dimensions. In this regard, its study may provide grants in order to interpret these problems in Brazil
