abstract = {Disaster notifications and disaster reports should optimally be distributed via various channels. Especially for administrative officials, it might be hard to keep track of incoming notifications. Tools and systems to support this procedure might be complicated, or not available. In this paper we present an architecture to handle disaster notifications simply by using established open source email infrastructure such as mail transport and mail deliv- ery agents, mailing lists, and ordinary mail clients. We show that this approach can implement a powerful noti- fication infrastructure that does not depend on specialized services and can be run on any machine.

abstract = {When a robot learns to solve a goal-directed navigation task with reinforcement learning, the acquired strategy can usually exclusively be applied to the task that has been learned. Knowledge transfer to other tasks and environments is a great challenge, and the transfer learning ability crucially depends on the chosen state space representation. This work shows how an agent-centered qualitative spatial representation can be used for generalization and knowledge transfer in a simulated robot navigation scenario. Learned strategies using this representation are very robust to environmental noise and imprecise world knowledge and can easily be applied to new scenarios, offering a good foundation for further learning tasks and application of the learned policy in different contexts.},

abstract = {In robot navigation tasks, the representation of the surrounding world plays an important role, especially in reinforcement learning approaches. This work presents a qualitative representation of space consisting of the circular order of detected landmarks and the relative position of walls towards the agent's moving direction. The use of this representation does not only empower the agent to learn a certain goal-directed navigation strategy, but also facilitates reusing structural knowledge of the world at different locations within the same environment. Furthermore, gained structural knowledge can be separated, leading to a generally sensible navigation behavior that can be transferred to environments lacking landmark information and/or totally unknown environments.},
