Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Presented case study is based on application of the previously designed volunteer peer-to-peer MapReduce computing platform to assist evacuation of people who are disoriented in a forest that is aected by wildre. Problem solution requires extensive use of features which are built into mobile devices in such a way, that computing not only become execution device, but also interface and data collector sensors. Nonetheless, despite being advanced to such a level every device in the infrastructure resumes its voluntarily mapper or reducer node features.
