2022 Workshop on AI and Simulation for Natural Disaster Management
Hybrid Mode -- July 17, 2022
https://rescuesim.robocup.org/upcoming-events/2022-workshop/
Co-located with the
RoboCup Symposium 2022
[ https://2022.robocup.org/ | https://2022.robocup.org ]
TUTORIALS
=========
Hands-on activities to introduce and consolidate the participant's knowledge
and skills with the Rescue Simulation platforms. The planned tutorials are:
- Introduction to Rescue Simulation (2 hours)
This tutorial will endow the participants with basic understanding of the
structure and dynamic aspects of the Rescue Simulator and Simulation code.
The tutorial also will cover more practical aspects:
* Simulator installation and configuration
* Simulation executions
* Simple Rescue Agent Team code modification
- Implementing Rescue Team using Python (2 hours)
This tutorial will introduce the new Python API developed to interact with
the Rescue Simulator. The tutorial will detail the communication protocol
between the Rescue Simulator with the Rescue Agent Team and guide the
participants through a step-by-step process to develop a Rescue Agent Team
using the Python API via incremental assignments.
- Unraveling ADF Framework
The Agent Development Framework (ADF) is a modular and flexible framework
that enables the development of Rescue Agent Teams for the Rescue Simulator.
This tutorial will details the structure and propose incremental
assignments to help participants grap the dynamics of the framework. The
tutorial will also guide the participants through the installation and
configuration of the framework.

DESCRIPTION
============
The intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and simulation may contribute
to the advance of natural disaster management. AI and simulation models and
tools, however, have to embed the required features and capabilities of this
domain application in order to support in real-world disaster scenarios. Hence,
the collaboration with field experts and policy-makers in the natural disaster
domain becomes essential.
The workshop aims to gather together and build a community of researchers,
disaster responders, and policy-makers interested in developing and applying AI
and simulation techniques for natural disaster management.
The workshop is relevant because it will help to create a bridge between
technology experts and disaster management practitioners aligning their
understand, interpretation, and expectations of each other enabling an
environment for the exchange of ideas.
The workshop will be structured as a mix of
- Invited talks
- Technical/Research presentations
- Tutorials
