Through strengthening the ability of safe communications, RDRSM guarantees the secure and reliable command on disaster recovery. Its self-supervision capability can monitor the integrality and security of disaster recovery system itself. By 2D and 3D rea-time visible platform provided by GIS, GPS and RS, the model makes the using, management and maintenance of disaster recovery system easier. RDRSM possesses predominant features of security, robustness and controllability. And it can be applied to highly security-critical environments such as E-government and bank. Conducted by RDRSM, an important E-government disaster recovery system has been constructed successfully. The feasibility of this model is verified by practice. We especially emphasize the significance of some components of the model, such as risk assessment, disaster recovery planning, system supervision and robust communication support.

The Impact of Business Expertise on Information System Data and Analytics Resilience (ISDAR) for Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity: An Exploratory Study

Disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) have been important areas of inquiry for both business managers and academicians. It is now widely believed that for achieving sustainable business continuity, a firm must be able to recover from both man-made and natural disasters. This is especially true for maintaining and recovering the lifeline of the organization and its data. Although the literature has discussed the importance of disaster recovery and business continuity, there is not much known about how Information System Data Analytics Resilience (ISDAR) and the organization’s ability to recover from lost information. In this research, we take a step in this direction and analyze the relationship of IS personnel expertise on ISDAR and investigate Information System (IS) personnel understanding of the firm’s competitive priorities, IS Personnel understanding of business policies and objectives, IS personnel’s ability to solve business problems, IS personnel initiatives in changing business processes and their determination and attentiveness to focus on achieving confident leadership in data and analytics resilience. We collected data through a survey of IS and business managers from 302 participants. Our results show that there is evidence to support our hypothesis and that there may indeed be a relationship between these variables.

Promoting Older Adults' Engagement in Disaster Recovery Through Supportive Relationships, Partnerships, and Collaboration: Perspectives of Social Work Practitioners and Human Service Professionals

Shifting demographics—that is, the growing number of older adults in Canada and internationally—and intersecting climatic risks create a complex landscape of aging in place in disaster contexts. Some older adults are vulnerable due to their underlying health conditions and limited physical mobility. Yet they also exhibit resilience in a distinct manner, owing to their wealth of knowledge, wisdom, and ability to navigate adversities. This article elucidates potential avenues for promoting the involvement of older adults in disaster recovery efforts. Our intention is to recognize and foster older adult resilience and mitigate vulnerability by drawing upon insights from the study titled “In the Aftermath of the 2016 Alberta Wildfires: The Role of Social Work Practitioners and Human Service Professionals in Long-Term Disaster Recovery.” Employing a qualitative research approach, that study recruited 51 participants for semistructured interviews and focus groups. A thematic analysis of the collected data unveiled the pivotal roles played by social workers and human service practitioners in facilitating recovery from the 2016 wildfires in the research. Notably, three overarching themes emerged concerning the promotion of older adults' involvement in disaster recovery: fostering supportive relationships, building partnerships and enhancing collaboration, and addressing ongoing challenges. These findings offer valuable insights into how social work practitioners and human service professionals can effectively facilitate the engagement of older adults in disaster recovery initiatives. This article emphasizes the significance of actively promoting the participation of older adults in disaster mitigation efforts, thereby fostering greater resilience within communities.

Resilience: The New Paradigm in Disaster Management—An Australian Perspective

During past decades, frameworks relating to emergency and disaster management have been based on a risk management approach to prevention/mitigation and preparedness coupled with a strong emphasis on response by police and emergency service organisations. Numerous reviews and inquiries of significant events however have identified significant issues relating to the preparation for such events and the management thereof;in particular, critical shortcomings in the capability of emergency response agencies, their leaders and senior decision-makers. In 2008, the Australian Government, through The First National Security Statement to the Australian Parliament by Prime Minister Rudd, has incorporated non-traditional threats and hazards, such as those posed by the impact of climate change, on the national security agenda. In doing so, the Government has announced a paradigm shift in policy for the nation’s approach to emergency and disaster management, namely a move from “response” to “resilience”. In support of this policy shift, the Australian Government, through the Council of Australian Governments, has endorsed the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience and the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Strategy. These documents make resilience the responsibility of all levels of government, private industry, emergency response agencies, and the community. A review of the reports published following Australian reviews and inquiries into significant events has identified that existing frameworks do not provide the necessary mechanisms for baselining and assessing community resilience, that is, their ability to respond to and recover from significant events. Internationally, indices have been developed for assessing community resilience, however, inherent limitations have also been identified in their scope and application. This paper will review Australian and international events which have led to inquiries that have resulted in criticisms of the emergency and disaster response, as well as introducing the organisational capability and resilience of organisations particularly in the context of climate change.

区域产业结构对灾后恢复韧性的影响——以汶川县和北川县为例

灾后恢复是评价地震恢复韧性的重要指标。不同的区域经济产业所提供的就业数量存在差异,将对灾后恢复韧性产生极大影响。该文基于5.12汶川地震中受灾最严重的汶川县和北川县共736户受灾家庭的灾后恢复调查,研究了区域产业结构对恢复韧性的影响。研究表明:北川的家庭生活恢复滞后汶川近2年,主要是由于北川的外地务工家庭比例(49.60%)高于汶川(5.79%),这些受灾家庭恢复重建的主要资金来源是外地务工,但家庭成员长期外出不能参与恢复重建,造成其灾后恢复缓慢。外地务工家庭比例高的原因是北川第一产业占比高达27.20%,汶川仅为8.40%,第一产业所提供的本地就业数量远低于第二产业。因此,农业产业为主地区是灾后恢复最缺乏韧性的地区,需要大力提高防灾减灾能力,也可以通过产业结构调整,提高韧性。

考虑分布式电源的配电网灾中-灾后两阶段协同韧性恢复决策

频繁的极端自然灾害极易引发配电网大规模故障,基于分布式电源的负荷恢复是提高配电网韧性水平的重要手段。然而,现有研究一般将灾中和灾后阶段进行独立决策,忽略了二者决策的连续性和耦合性,延缓了恢复进程。为此,文中提出一种基于灾中-灾后两阶段协同决策的配电网快速恢复方法,充分考虑灾中-灾后过程中的相互作用,综合分布式电源调度、网络拓扑改变、维修人员调度等在内的恢复措施,保障灾中-灾后阶段连续决策的最优性。首先,考虑灾后供能路径对灾中网络拓扑的需求关系,建立灾中阶段以分布式电源为核心的拓扑调整模型与负荷元胞恢复模型,实现部分重要负荷的供电;其次,考虑灾中决策对灾后恢复的影响,建立灾后阶段故障维修人员调度和负荷快速恢复的联合决策模型,实现所有负荷的有序恢复;然后,以灾中-灾后全阶段失负荷量最小为目标,实现灾中-灾后恢复的协同决策;最后,基于IEEE 123节点配电系统验证了所提模型的有效性。

5G SA用户的短信接收容灾方案研究与实践

当VoLTE短信网关主用数据中心(DC)发生故障切换到容灾DC时,在用户刷新注册前,容灾DC收到短信中心下发的手机终呼(MT)消息会通过3G电路域网络完成消息终呼。但5G SA用户只附着在5G核心网络,无法通过3G电路域网络下发短信。随着5G SA用户的快速发展,需要解决VoLTE短信网关容灾切换后5G SA用户不能及时接收短信的问题。另外,当IMS网络中服务呼叫会话控制功能(S-CSCF)节点发生容灾倒换时,4G用户可通过回落至3G电路域进行短信的再投递,而5G SA用户在没有重新发起新的注册请求前,由于没有3G电路域注册信息,也无法从3G电路域接收短信。文章阐述了当VoLTE短信网关单DC故障和核心网S-CSCF发生故障时,5G SA的容灾问题。

基于聚类分析和缓存优化的数据去重策略

针对传统去重算法无法兼顾去重率和吞吐量的问题,设计了一种相似聚类重复数据删除算法。该算法基于数据相似性理论定义数据项间的相似度,将相似的数据项进行分类和标记,然后在缓存中保留每个聚类中的部分特征数据。当新数据录入时,算法根据数据特征选择合适的聚类进行数据去重。此外,为高效利用有限的缓存,提出了一种基于随机森林算法的缓存优化方法,用于优化去重过程中使用的指纹缓存,以提高缓存指纹的命中率。该缓存模型基于传统的随机森林分类器,并使用改进的烟花算法(ELU函数优化)对随机森林的超参数进行优化,能够有效应对数据量过大、指纹过多以及缓存利用有限的问题。实验验证表明,与基于数据相似原理的RMD和Shingle方法相比,所提算法在去重率和吞吐量方面均提高了10%~15%。
