The hypothesis presented in this paper is that there has been little interest in describing the key modules that these simulators must include, such as formally represented knowledge and a realistic simulated sensor model, and especially in providing researchers with tools to reuse, extend and interconnect modules from different works.defines the main modules identified and proposes the use of semantic web technologies as a cornerstone for the aforementioned holistic framework; provides a basic methodology to achieve the framework; identifies the main challenges; and presents an open and free software tool to hint at the potential of such a holistic view of emergency plan evaluation in indoor environments.

we developed the RESCUER app, which runs on smartphones and allows the crowd to report about an emergency, thereby improving the process for rescuing humans in an emergency.The main purpose of the on-site evaluation was to assess the usability of the RESCUER app in the context of use.

(1) To use the S-HELP framework to design three scenarios(2) To test the S-HELP DSS tool-set and training modules(3) To assess the performance and impact of the S-HELP solution(4) To determine the applicability of the S-HELP solution

This paper presents a traffic evacuation simulation system based on integrated multi-level driving-decision models which generate agents’ behavior in a united framework. The proposed integrated simulation system includes four key components: geospatial manager, agent manager, behavior manager, and mission manager. Together they provide the capability to simulate complex scenarios.

Case Study to illustrate how virtual environments can be used for crisis management training.Show how new developments in information technology and communications can be used to create more realistic situations and lead to new tools for educating crisis managers to respond to and manage crises.

The purpose of this paper is to present a training model for decision makers that covers the complexity which is inherent in decision-making processes in times of floods

LIRNEasia field tested five wireless technologies, including mobile phones, in 32 tsunami affected villages in Sri Lanka; where members in the village were providedvtraining with emergency response planning and given one or more of the technologies for receiving hazard information.

Monte Carlo simulation is a method that evaluates iteratively a deterministic model using sets of random numbers as inputs.Response simulation for the Thailand tsunami in 2004

Case study to employ an agent-based synthetic environment to simulate a crisis event, and then use an MLSVM model to examine alternative response strategies to the simulated crisis as it unfolds.Objectives:validate the effectiveness of SVMs (support vector machines) as an automated generic IT–based decision support tool to model and improve the effectiveness of multi-organizational, collaborative decision making in high-magnitude crisis situationsexamine the anticipatory and explanatory effectiveness of a MLSVM (multistage linear SVM) algorithm that would effectively capture different patterns of behavior of decision makers in a multi-organizational setting

study is using an experiment to extrapolate the effects of social media andcountry-of-origin on consumers’ crisis appraisal
