TLDR
In this article, the authors investigate the interaction networks responsible for the cascade-like spreading of disasters, and identify other fields where network theory could help to improve disaster response management, including disaster management.Abstract:
We discuss why disasters occur more frequently and are more serious than expected according to a normal distribution. Moreover, we investigate the interaction networks responsible for the cascade-like spreading of disasters. Such causality networks allow one to estimate the development of disasters with time, to give hints about when to take certain actions, to assess the suitability of alternative measures of emergency management, and to anticipate their side effects. Finally, we identify other fields where network theory could help to improve disaster response management.read more

Agent-Based Modeling
TL;DR: Since the advent of computers, the natural and engineering sciences have enormously progressed and it would be very surprising, if computers could not make a contribution to a better understanding of social and economic systems.

Toward sustainability: using big data to explore the decisive attributes of supply chain risks and uncertainties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed using the fuzzy and grey Delphi methods to identify a set of reliable attributes and, based on these attributes, transforming big data to a manageable scale to consider their impacts.
