national early Warning System sri lanka a participatory concept paper for the design of an effective all hazard Public Warning System annexes
Social Science Research Network, 2005Co-Authors: Rohan Samarajiva, Malathy Knightjohn, Peter Anderson, Ayesha ZainudeenAbstract:The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed the lives of one in 500 of Sri Lankas people and displaced one in twenty has highlighted the critical importance of an effective National Early Warning System for Sri Lanka (NEWS:SL). Meeting this need, which has been discussed (and forgotten) after each of our too frequent disasters such as the cyclones of 1978 and the floods of 2003, can no longer be postponed.Public Warning is a System, not a technology. The identification, detection and risk assessment of a hazard, the accurate identification of the vulnerability of a population at risk and finally the communication of information to the vulnerable population about the threat in sufficient time and clarity so that they take action to avert negative consequences constitute the System of Public Warning. Warning allows people to act in order to prevent hazards from becoming disasters. Effective Public Warning saves lives, reduces economic loss, reduces trauma and disruption in society and instills confidence and a sense of security in the Public. It is an important component of the foundation of a sound economy.Recognizing that effective Warning is just one of the critical parts of a comprehensive risk management System that includes mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery, *this concept paper focuses on the Warning component*. Warning is a crucial component of the overall risk management System that failed in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami; it needs urgent strengthening for the country to benefit from the proposed improvements in the regional hazard detection Systems and to minimize losses from local hazards.

model based protocol log generation for testing a telecommunication test harness using clp
Design Automation and Test in Europe, 2014Co-Authors: Kenneth Balck, Olga Grinchtein, Justin PearsonAbstract:Within telecommunications development it is vital to have frameworks and Systems to replay complicated scenarios on equipment under test, often there are not enough available scenarios. In this paper we study the problem of testing a test harness, which replays scenarios and analyses protocol logs for the Public Warning System service, which is a part of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) 4G standard. Protocol logs are sequences of messages with timestamps; and are generated by different mobile network entities. In our case study we focus on user equipment protocol logs. In order to test the test harness we require that logs have both incorrect and correct behaviour. It is easy to collect logs from real System runs, but these logs do not show much variation in the behaviour of System under test. We present an approach where we use constraint logic programming (CLP) for both modelling and test generation, where each test case is a protocol log. In this case study, we uncovered previously unknown faults in the test harness.
