The proposals range from those focused on the communication and notification [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19] to those focused on information management, resource allocation and decision making [20], [21]. Some examples of these systems are CATS [22], OpenGIS [23], DERMIS [24], Sahana [25], DUMBONET and Eplan [26].…”

-Multi-agent System (MAS) formulations have been developed and explored in the past in a variety of domains, ranging from optimization problems to game theory. However, there are certain issues that are common across all the domains. Cooperation and coordination of agents in MAS is one such important area. In this paper, we have first presented a very brief survey characterizing the cooperation and coordination strategies that have been frequently used. Thereafter the paper progresses to explore the applicability of MAS formulations in disaster management domain. We have identified the characteristics and requirements of disaster management domain; described the ways in which MAS formulations can be used in this domain; and presented the preliminary results of our simulation experiment of a greedy approach to disaster recovery.

“…Proposed approaches range from communication and notification platforms (e.g., ) to information and knowledge management systems , incident command systems , and resource allocation and decision making support systems (e.g., ). These works, as well as systems such as DERMIS , DUMBONET and Sahana , mainly focus on supporting operators working in command and control rooms who need to make decisions and provide high‐level coordination of teams of first responders engaged in the field. On the other side, the issues and challenges related to intrateam coordination have been only partially investigated, with a few works addressing the need of supporting first responders on the field .…”

ROME4EU – A service‐oriented process‐aware information system for mobile devices

2011

SUMMARY Nowadays, process‐aware information systems (PAISs) are widely used for the management of ‘administrative’ processes characterized by clear and well‐defined structures. Besides those scenarios, PAISs can be used also in mobile and pervasive scenarios, where process participants can be only equipped with smart devices, such as personal digital assistants. None of existing PAISs can be entirely deployed on smart devices, making unfeasible its usage in highly mobile scenarios. This paper presents ROME4EU, a mobile PAIS developed for being applied to the coordination of emergency operators, and an extensive validation of the system, both in term of performances and usability/acceptability by the users.

“…The privacy and data integrity are also essential for providing secrecy and accuracy to the sensitive information such as medical history of affected people. An emergency communication system, called digital ubiquitous mobile broadband OLSR network (DUMBONET) is proposed for exchanging real time multimedia information in search and rescue operations in disaster affected areas [8]. It connects various disaster affected areas and command centre through long delay satellite links.…”
