提案#：CNS09-23203 PI(S)：墨菲，罗宾·R；艾姆斯，阿伦·D；古铁雷斯-奥苏纳，里卡多；宋，德珍；斯托雷鲁，拉杜机构：德克萨斯A&A；M College Station，TX 77843-3000标题：核磁共振/Acq.：移动分布式响应研究仪器(RESPONSE-R)项目建议：该项目旨在开发一种集成的、可互操作的研究仪器，适合全面使用网络物理系统(CPS)技术处理各种类型的事件：城市建筑和桥梁坍塌(地震、飓风、爆炸物)、放射性或化学泄漏以及恐怖主义。CPS探索新技术，如机器人、无线网络、微型传感器、传感器网络和其他类型的应急准备、预防、响应和恢复。该仪器为灾害应对的紧急信息学多学科研究项目提供服务。应急信息学包括用于应急保存、准备、响应和恢复的信息的实时收集、处理、分发和可视化。Response-R解决了缺乏综合应急信息学仪器的问题，该仪器可以配置为支持基于情景的实验并传输到演习和响应中。为了捕捉设备、现实世界和人类决策之间的互动，该项目将使用该机构的灾难城设施。将获得核心领域的CPS组件(无人系统、成像/化学和辐射传感器、无线通信网络、节点和尘埃以及人类性能)。针对真实世界条件和场景中的测试，Response-R预计将通过提供对位于保真度灾难试验台或可被运送到国土安全演习或实际事件中的完整、大规模系统的访问，来促进紧急信息学和CPS等新兴多学科领域的知识。Response-R将向该机构以外的研究人员开放，预计将有22所大学在3年内参与其中。广泛影响：该工具由8个系和2个学院(工程和建筑)的18名教职员工使用，每年通过课程和论文工作的实地部分培养10-20名研究生。利用针对代表性不足群体的举措，Response-R还将用于培训1000名响应者和政策制定者。为了与风暴追逐者使用的工具保持一致，？该仪器将部署在演习和灾难中，在这些演习和灾难中，CPS组件可以减少事件的负面结果，同时收集极其宝贵的数据和/或拯救生命。

Proposal #: CNS 09-23203 PI(s): Murphy, Robin R.; Ames, Aaron D.; Gutierrez-Osuna, Ricardo; Song, Dezhen; Stoleru, RaduInstitution: Texas A & M College Station, TX 77843-3000Title: MRI/Acq.: Mobile, Distributed Instrumentation for Response Research (RESPOND-R)Project Proposed:This project, acquiring equipment to create a mobile, modular, distributed instrument called RESPOND-R, aims to develop an integrated, interoperable research instrument suitable for a comprehensive use of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) technologies for various types of incidents: urban building and bridge collapse (earthquakes, hurricanes, explosives), radiological or chemical spills, and terrorism. CPS explores new technologies such as robots, wireless networks, miniature sensors, sensor networks, and other types for emergency preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery. The instrument services projects in multidisciplinary research in Emergency Informatics for disaster response. Emergency Informatics consists of a real-time collection, processing, distribution, and visualization of information for emergency preservation, preparedness, response, and recovery. RESPOND-R addresses the lack of an Integrated Emergency Informatics Instrument that can be configured to support scenario-based experimentation and transported to exercises and responses. To capture the interaction of devices, the physical worlds, and human decision making, the project will use the Disaster City facility at the institution. CPS components in core areas (unmanned systems, imaging/chemical and radiological sensors, wireless communication networks, nodes and motes, and human performance) will be acquired. Addressing testing within real-world conditions and scenarios, RESPOND-R is expected to advance knowledge in the emerging, multidisciplinary fields of Emergency Informatics and CPS by providing access to a complete, large scale system that is located in a fidelity disaster testbed or can be transported to homeland security exercises or actual incidents. RESPOND-R will be open to researchers outside the institution, with a projection that 22 universities will participate over 3 years.Broader Impacts: Used by 18 faculty in 8 departments and 2 colleges (Engineering and Architecture), the instrument contributes to educate 10-20 graduate students each year through field components of courses and dissertation work. Leveraging initiatives for underrepresented group, RESPOND-R will also be utilized for the training of 1000 responders and policy makers. In keeping with instruments used by ?storm chasers,? the instrument will be deployable for exercises and disasters where CPS components can reduce negative outcomes of events while gathering extremely valuable data and/or save lives.
