Cover Story: Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, involve critical situations that threaten human lives. Victims are often injured and trapped, while in most cases, the harsh environment prevents search and rescue (SAR) teams from approaching the victims’ locations. In such scenarios, decision-makers must have a real-time and complete view of the current situation. Advances in robotics, drones, Edge computing and Internet of Things (IoT) have increased their usability in life- and time-critical decision support systems, integrating heterogeneous streaming data generated from IoT entities, and providing reasoning capabilities, in real-time. This paper reviews related technologies and approaches and identifies open issues and challenges, proposing a novel approach that goes beyond the state of the art. View this paper
