Collaborative Team to Develop Wireless Response System
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded Gregory R. Madey, associate professor in computer science and engineering, and Albert-László Barabási, professor of physics, a $500,000 three-year grant for the development of an integrated wireless phone based emergency response system that is capable of real-time monitoring of normal social and geographical communication and activity patterns of millions of wireless phone users. The goal of the system is to collect and analyze data so that it can generate traffic forecasts, issue emergency alerts, and alert public safety and emergency response personnel. The grant was awarded under the NSF’s Dynamic Data Driven Applications Systems program. Assisting Madey and Barabási on the project is Associate Professor David Hachen, sociology.
