Firefighting as a Strategic Game [PDF]

open access: yesInternet Mathematics, 2015
The Firefighter Problem was proposed in 1995 as a deterministic discrete-time model for the spread and containment of a fire. The problem is defined on an undirected finite graph G = (V, E), where fire breaks out initially at f nodes. In each subsequent time-step, two actions occur: a certain number b of firefighters are placed on nonburning nodes ...

Firefighting as a Game [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Firefighter Problem was proposed in 1995 [16] as a deterministic discrete-time model for the spread (and containment) of a fire. Its applications reach from real fires to the spreading of diseases and the containment of floods. Furthermore, it can be used to model the spread of computer viruses or viral marketing in communication networks.

Firefighting on trees

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2019
In the Firefighter problem, introduced by Hartnell in 1995, a fire spreads through a graph while a player chooses which vertices to protect in order to contain it. In this paper, we focus on the case of trees and we consider as well the Fractional Firefighter game where the amount of protection allocated to a vertex lies between 0 and 1.

Mutual Shaping in Swarm Robotics: User Studies in Fire and Rescue, Storage Organization, and Bridge Inspection

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2020
Many real-world applications have been suggested in the swarm robotics literature. However, there is a general lack of understanding of what needs to be done for robot swarms to be useful and trusted by users in reality.
