Information diffusion otherwise known as the propagation, spread or dissemination of information occurs when a piece of information flows from a particular individual/community to another in a social network. Studies related to information propagation involve problems regarding the factors that affect the information propagation, how the information is disseminated, the speed of propagation, etc. Researchers have proposed information propagation models to understand the phenomenon and to answer these questions. These models have been effectively used in applications such as behavior analysis, public health care, etc. Although several studies are carried out in this field, the literature demands identifying the most influential factors of propagation in real time in cases of sudden unexpected significant disasters/epidemics/pandemics, since the existing propagation models seem unfit during such circumstances. In this paper, a novel information propagation model which predicts the top propagators of information related to a particular context is proposed. This model utilizes the past few weeks' data during a sudden outbreak of a disaster and identifies the most influential attributes of a user profile to predict the top propagators of the future. The proposed Social Force Model is inspired by a model used in studying the fear propagation pattern in pedestrian dynamics in real-life situation [Cornes FE, Frank GA, Dorso CO. Fear propagation and the evacuation dynamics. Simul Model Pract Theory. 2019;95:112–133.]. We have effectively mapped the various forces which constitute the Social Force Model such as the Desired Force, the Social Force and the Granular Force with respect to the online social network context in order to discover the key spreaders of information during a specific context. Apart from identifying the propagators, the proposed model discovers the key attributes by analyzing the behavior of users based on their past activities in the online social networ

Empowering each vehicle with four dimensional (4D) situational awareness, i.e., accurate knowledge of neighboring vehicles' 3D locations over time in a cooperative manner (instead of focusing only on self-localization), is fundamental for improving autonomous driving performance in diverse traffic conditions. For this task, identification, localization and tracking of nearby road users is critical for enhancing safety, motion planning and energy consumption of automated vehicles. Advanced perception sensors as well as communication abilities, enable the close collaboration of moving vehicles and other road users, and significantly increase the positioning accuracy via multi-modal sensor fusion. The challenge here is to actually match the extracted measurements from perception sensors with the correct vehicle ID, through data association. In this paper, two novel and distributed Cooperative Localization or Awareness algorithms are formulated, based on linear least-squares minimization and the celebrated Kalman Filter. They both aim to improve ego vehicle's 4D situational awareness, so as to be fully location aware of its surrounding and not just its own position. For that purpose, ego vehicle forms a star like topology with its neighbors, and fuses four types of multi-modal inter-vehicular measurements (position, distance, azimuth and inclination angle) via the linear Graph Laplacian operator and geometry capturing differential coordinates. Moreover, a data association strategy has been integrated to the algorithms as part of the identification process, which is shown to be much more beneficial than traditional Hungarian algorithm. An extensive experimental study has been conducted in CARLA, SUMO and Artery simulators, highlighting the benefits of the proposed methods in a variety of experimental scenarios, and verifying increased situational awareness ability. The proposed distributed approaches offer high positioning accuracy, outperforming other state-of-the-art c
