Emergency Relief Planning and Management Through Dynamic Agent-based Reallocation and Tasking (DART)

Abstract

Disaster and emergency management poses a tremendous challenge on the human planners coordinating the emergency services. With an ever changing operating environment during a crisis, coupled with differing capabilities and availabilities of resources, creates a significant problem. With the addition of accounting for a level of uncertainty, this quickly becomes a complex problem for humans to solve. The problem grows exponentially demanding when the coordination and synchronization of response efforts must determine the optimal resource allocation options across multiple domains such as air, water and space. To provide a means of solving these types of problems we have developed the Dynamic Agent-based Reallocation and Tasking (DART) system. This system offers a framework that allows for maintaining focus on mission objectives by optimizing resource allocation decisions across multiple diverse domains.

“…Tambulin is a hydroxy iodic flavanol separated from Zanthoxylum armatum . Aging is a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington's syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease [ 6 , 66 ]. The lifespan and stress tolerance of nematodes are significantly improved by tambulin treatment, and this phenomenon is accompanied by the remission of aging biomarkers, such as lipofuscin and protein carbonyl.…”
