A Dynamic Model for Fire Emergency Evacuation Based on Wireless Sensor Networks

This work introduces a dynamic model for the fire emergency evacuation problem. The model extends the concept safety introduced by Barnes et.al. for the situation when the navigation graph is dynamic. The two possible scenarios are described for using the dynamic model with a Wireless Sensor Network for fire emergency evacuation.
