Co-chairs: Robin Murphy, Texas A&M Trevor Darrell, University of California Berkeley

Purpose 2 day workshop Are there fundamental research questions for individual computing disciplines? Are there cross-cutting research questions requiring novel, multi- disciplinary solutions?

Importance Disasters aren’t increasing, but their impact is – 2000 and 2009 over 7,000 disasters – 1.1 million people casualties worldwide, affected another 2.5 million directly – loss of $986.7 billion Time is Now! – Advances from DoD, social networking, telecommuting, telemedicine – Need economic resilience – Returning veterans, job creation

Computing for Disasters Human-Computer Systems

Computing for Disasters How… dynamic socio-technical systems work stakeholders can comprehend data at scale models can be adapted in real-time to effectively train and educate the population to exploit technical improvisation in order to respond to disasters.

5 Unique Directions 1.Integrating computing, physical science, and social science 2.Working and comprehending at scale 3.Real-time Modeling 4.Methods and Metrics 5.Training and Education

Conducts Research Differently Is holistic Relies primarily on empirical methodologies Is based on meaningful partnerships with a stakeholder(s)

Computing Can Revolutionize Gathering actionable data Transmission, transformation, abstraction of data Explicit represent and mitigate uncertainty Social, behavioral and economic consequences Optimizing resources and logistics Reuniting families, identify and triage victims Training of workers STEM education and recruitment

Recommendations Living Roadmap – Domain elucidation workshop – Workshops at relevant conferences Funded Research Portfolio – Rapid Response Grants – Traditional PI Grants Seedling, Medium, Large – RegionalCenters Provide testbeds, exercises, stakeholders
