| A service oriented architecture for decision support systems in environmental crisis management | First, although standards do exist, real world spatial data is usually not compliant, nor is it offered through open network interfaces. Second, QoS requirements that are of critical importance to this application domain either cannot be implemented, or, even worse, are rarely a consideration. Third, added-value services such as operational logistics and environmental modeling remain isolated to their originating scientific communities, such as Computational Fluid Dynamics and Operational Research, and only lately begin to be considered as services that can be integrated in such systems. |
| A Simulation Tool for Examining the Effect of Communications on Disaster Response in the Oil and Gas Industry. | only simulation runs … |
| A Socio-Physical Approach to Systemic Risk Reduction in Emergency Response and Preparedness. | The current work considers only static snapshots of the network, but changes to the system (e.g., from hazards or accidents) will impact the network topology. |
| A survey of the practice of nurses' skills in Wenchuan earthquake disaster sites: implications for disaster training. | An important limitation of the study was the small sample size.Also, the relative limited experience of many participants |
| A virtual reality based fire training simulator integrated with fire dynamics data | The frame rate is the main indicator for real-time performance of a visualization system; however, it often can vary depending on the number and size of visible objects.Users can experience pre-simulated fire phenomena caused by heat transfer or ventilation facilities from different viewing angles in real-time, but cannot interact with fire or smoke directly by means of user inputs such as extinguishing the fire. This is an important limitation for a application. |
| An assessment of activity-based modeling and simulation for applications in operational studies, disaster preparedness, and homeland security | only a few of the models have the desired characteristics of fine spatial and temporal resolutions as well as explicit cognitive-behavioral capabilities |
| An emergency logistics response system for natural disasters. | Research (pilot programs) must be conducted to fully assess their economical and technical feasibility ( not conclusive. |
| An expert system for an emergency response management in Networked Safe Service Systems | The case study is relatively simple and was not able to show all interesting scenarios.The planning and scheduling is relatively simple though it serves as a gateway to illustrate the methodology.The work deals with the process and behavior without including the organization of a Networked Safe Service System.The human factor issue has not been discussed, though the model, has laid a good foundation for considering the issue (as considered by the authors). |
| An optimization approach for ambulance location and the districting of the response segments on highways | The methods would require a prohibitive amount of CPU time to solve problems with more than 10 ambulance. |
| Applying Analytical Hierarchy Process to Supplier Selection and Evaluation in the Hospitality Industry: A Multiobjective Approach | The results of this study may vary with the service levels, size, and geographic locations of hospitality firms. |

Portfolio of Solutions web site has been initially developed in the scope of DRIVER+ project. Today, the service is managed by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH., for the benefit of the European Management. PoS is endorsed and supported by the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) as well as by the STAMINA and TeamAware H2020 projects. |
