Science Daily August 22, 2018 According to the researchers at Johns Hopkins University disasters are inherently a Big Data challenge, the key question we face today is how we harness a growingly diverse and often chaotic wave of data and information. Big Data and ICT pose a serious challenge in disasters, but they also hold promise for potential solutions. The answer to leveraging the massive amounts of data that ICT is creating is likely to be found within the very same technologies driving the Information Age. But we must think creatively about adapting and adopting these technologies in emergency situations. […]

Researchers suggest uncertainty may be key in battlefield decision making
Phys.org July 13, 2018 A team of researchers in the US (U.S. Army Research Laboratory, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) discovered that being initially uncertain when faced with making critical mission-related decisions based on various forms of information may lead to better overall results in the end. According to the researchers as human cognition is limited in detecting good or bad information or processing large volumes of information, errors are inevitable; if an individual is not biased towards false information, systematic errors do not cascade in the network; high uncertainty can even help the decision maker to maximize the effect of small […]
