Abstract: A computer communication system promotes collaboration between organizations by enabling secure sharing of information between organizations having separate databases. The system provides a portal generator for creation of one or more portals or channels through which data of each organization can be shared. The portals can be setup for planned or emergency events within a given region, e.g., a municipality, with tasks associated with each event. Users can register to become members of each portal, with membership being assigned automatically or with respect to predetermined criteria. In some embodiments, permissions of each member can be altered to ensure selected access to data within the channel based on the organization with which the member associates. After being registered, members can receive real-time updates on event progress from members within their organization and/or external to their organization.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments disclose systems for sharing, among a group of consumers, data provided by a contributor. Some embodiments are well-suited for real-time distribution of data developing from ongoing incidents, and may be useful, for example, for emergency management. Illustrative embodiments provide a cloud-based system having tenants that are data contributors and data consumers. The system receives, from each contributor, both data and sharing rules that dictate whether and how that data may be shared, and with whom (which consumer or consumers), and then provide data to such consumer or consumers according to the sharing rules.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for determining optimized solutions to input problems in a containerized, cloud-based (e.g., serverless) manner.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a computer-implemented methodology for automatically indicating in a computer-aided dispatch system for a plurality of assignable participants, such as emergency vehicles, to be dispatched to one of a plurality of facilities, whether a facility is in a diverting status or a receiving status. A centralized database receives a change in status for a vehicle for use in determining the status of a facility. In response to receiving the change in status for the vehicle, the status information about the vehicle including a current status and a prior status is transmitted to one or more client programs. A client program receives the current status and the prior status of the vehicle and uses the current status and prior status of the vehicle along with a criteria set to determine if any of the plurality of facilities' status should be changed from receiving to diverting or from diverting to receiving.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method ensures, by a web map tile service, the updated display of features. In this method, a web map tile service database receives a change to a feature on a map and a server system identifies rendered tiles in a cache that are impacted by the change to the feature. The server system invalidates the identified rendered tiles in the cache by, for example, removing them.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for ordering vertices in an image frame within a data stream, wherein the image frame corresponds to Earth-viewing data. A point of intersection of a primary pair of lines is determined and loaded into computer memory, and interrogated as to a sign of a signed remainder with respect to each of two secondary lines defined by the pairwise ordered sets of vertices. In the case of opposite remainder sign with respect to the two secondary lines, two provisional indices are swapped to obtain a rectified index for each of the four vertices. The process is repeated with respect to the signed remainder of the intersection point of the secondary lines relative to the primary lines. The four vertices are then fit, in accordance with index ordering, into a tiling of the surface of the Earth based on the rectified index of each of the four vertices.
