Abstract:
Recent technological and infrastructure advances along several fronts have enabled smart embedded devices, systems and applications that can enhance preparedness of our living environments against common natural and man-made disasters. They can also help us to be safer when disasters strike. This paper first discusses issues in configurability, maintainability and safety specific to this type of smart things and systems. It then describes models and tools for assessing their effectiveness and ensuring their safety.
