Complex decisions can give rise to unexpected consequences from implemented actions. The main problem discussed by this research is the difficulty suffered by decision-makers in projecting impacts of a complex decision before the decision occurrence. Unexpected impacts of complex decisions demand mitigating action so that it is possible to intensify the positive aspects and neutralize the negatives. Dealing with unexpected impacts generates a cognitive overload on decision-makers and on the availability of material resources. To solve these problems, this research proposes the impact projection of complex decisions in a collaborative way, to be applied before the decision occurrence. The proposed solution considers a systematizing project impact of complex decisions inside work groups and delivers a framework and artefacts to support decision-makers in their decision impact tasks before the occurrence of a real decision scenario. This solution was evaluated by decision-making specialists and their goal was to investigate the applicability of this proposal to different teams. This is a qualitative research, and the method applied was the case study because we would like to deeply understand the behaviour of this approach in decision-makers team. The evaluation generated evidence on the feasibility of this approach, showing that the artefacts provide a systematic structure to orient what decision-makers must do to know and understand the impacts of decisions before their execution. This evidence is contribution for decision support field.

“…In general, four predominant phases characterize the Emergency Management and Response action, presented by several works in the literature (Vivacqua and Borges, 2001;Moore, 2008;Araujo and Borges, 2012;Pavković and Milenković, 2014;Cova, 1999;Harb and Dell'acqua, 2017;Nazer, 2017;Li et al, 2017) as a cycle containing: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Briefly, the Mitigation phase provides redundancy in preparedness plans to avoid re-occurrence of a disaster or to diminish the destructive impact.…”

ICTs and social networks can contribute to the emergence of creating competent teams for emergency response. For example, during disasters such as Pakistan flood of 2010, Japan tsunami of 2011 and Thailand flood of 2011, On-Line Social Networks (OSNs) have served as a main technology for numerous people seeking to share information about their personal status, to request resources, or to report the status of their community. They can be used at least for three main functions: detecting emergencies, disseminating information, and managing emergencies. On the other hand, the combination of Internet and mobile technology generated smart devices with associated sensor technologies that are becoming crucial parts in delivering supports during disaster and emergency situation. However, such use of mobile devices usually requires a reliable support system from crowdsensing technologies and back-end intelligent systems. In this way, the mobile crowdsensing must be designed with focus on mechanisms to identify and localize survivors and first responders in an incident zone, as well as mechanisms for competence characterization provided by social networks to facilitate coordination for individuals as well as crowds. These main technologies, the crowdsensing and social networks combined with semantic web and ontologies can provide a complete emergency response system that is the purpose of the CO-SEMIWA platform. This platform permits an interaction among participants to create dynamically competent teams where all participants perform tasks and solve problems in a specific emergency context and situation.
