Emergency Management in Critical Infrastructures: A Complex-Event-Processing Paradigm

A new emergency decision support system: the automatic interpretation and contextualisation of events to model a crisis situation in real-time

“…As used in Refs. [23] and [25], the occurrence of one event can be used to improve the trustworthiness of another. All the complex event processing rules implemented in the AIC information system are dictated by experts accustomed to crisis management in France.…”

“…First, Lauras et al [22] propose a system that analyses events (radioactivity measurements, wind forecasts) and issues an alarm if they match their emergency rules. Mijović et al [23] propose a system that integrates existing supervision systems, such as fire and smoke detectors. It analyses the events to issue a suitable alert level given the incident severity.…”

“…They were able to instantiate a risk (composed of several attributes). Like Mijović et al [23], they used the emergence/nonemergence of some events to verify the trustworthiness of past ones.…”

“…This group of rules is similar to the ones used in Refs. [23] or [25]. For example, the threshold can correspond to the safety level of a dyke, which, if exceeded, will trigger a Danger of Flooding to be added to the mode!…”

Crisis Informatics in the Context of Social Media Crisis Communication: Theoretical Models, Taxonomy, and Open Issues

“…Emergency management, disaster management, and crisis management are often used interchangeably [40]. The application of technology intervention in crisis management is referred to as "crisis informatics" and researchers have linked the termed to be coined by Hargar (2006;2007) [5], [15], [25], [41]- [44].…”
