Worldwide, millions of people are displaced annually because of natural or industrial disasters or social upheaval. Reliable data on the numbers, characteristics, and locations of these populations can bolster humanitarian relief efforts and recovery programs. Using sound methods for estimating population numbers and characteristics is important for both industrialized and developing nations. Ensuring that the data are geographically referenced for projection onto maps is essential. However, good data alone are insufficient. Adequate staff training and strong organizational and political desire to maintain and use the information are also required. Tools and Methods for Estimating Populations at Risk from Natural Disasters and Complex Humanitarian Crises, reviews the main methods and tools for making estimates of subnational populations and makes several recommendations to improve the collection and the use of population data for emergency response and development.
This book covers cutting-edge and advanced research on data processing techniques and applications for Cyber-Physical Systems. Gathering the proceedings of the International Conference on Data Processing Techniques and Applications for Cyber-Physical Systems (DPTA 2019), held in Shanghai, China on November 15–16, 2019, it examines a wide range of topics, including: distributed processing for sensor data in CPS networks; approximate reasoning and pattern recognition for CPS networks; data platforms for efficient integration with CPS networks; and data security and privacy in CPS networks. Outlining promising future research directions, the book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers and professionals alike, while also providing a useful reference guide for newcomers to the field.
The compilation and deployment of statistical techniques is nowadays almost universally based on computing systems. Rapidly changing technology is expanding the options available for improving the quality, range and delivery of statistics whilst reducing the cost, and at the same time is putting pressure on producers and users to keep up with the latest techniques, both as management views develop of what is possible and simply through peer group pressure. In the areas of official statistics, it is clear that new technologies will change our approach to the whole range to activities from systems design, through data collection, processing, analysis and dissemination, to the structure of the ...
