Aerial Wildfire Suppression Planning with a Hybrid CNN-Cellular Automata Fire Model

Ion Matei, Maksym Zhenirovskyy, Takuya Kurihana +4

Aerial wildfire suppression requires decisions about when, where, and how to deploy limited aircraft. We present an intervention-design framework built on a frozen hybrid convoluti…

Neural-Parameterized Cellular Automata for Wildfire Spread

Maksym Zhenirovskyy, Ion Matei, Rohit Vuppala +2

Traditional wildfire models rely on rigid, low-dimensional parameters and static fuel maps, frequently underpredicting fire spread. To address this weakness, we introduce a hybrid…

Differentiable Parameter Optimization for DAEs with State-Dependent Events

Ion Matei, Maksym Zhenirovskyy, Anthony Wong

Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) with state-dependent events arise in systems whose continuous dynamics are constrained by algebraic equations and interrupted by mode change…

Resilience Quantification and its Support for Operational Resilience

Ion Matei, Maksym Zhenirovskyy

We present a method to quantify a system's resilience capacity, i.e., the set of degradation magnitudes for which all functional requirements remain satisfied. These requirements c…
