A university professor who is developing an expert system for fire dispatching is asking for assistance in testing the intelligence that he’s built into the first version of the software. Associate professor of disaster and emergency management Ali Asgary teaches at York University (Toronto, Ont.), and specializes in urban risk mitigation, business continuity planning, disaster economics, and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. His latest project aims to create software that assists fire dispatchers in evaluating incidents and providing recommendations for a response. His project is now at the point where feedback from working dispatchers would be important in further refining the expert system. You can contact Asgar and volunteer to help at e-mail asgary@yorku.ca, or telephone (416) 736-2100 x 22879.
