DATA MODEL DEVELOPMENT FOR FIRE RELATED EXTREME EVENTS: AN ACTIVITY THEORY APPROACH1.

Develop a data model that standardizes task-critical information for fire-related incident managemen as an examplet.Incorporate an extended activity theory approach that improves management practice with a validated data standardCarry out a research using a three-step approach: • initiate a request for comment (RFC) process • employ a case study to show the value of the data model • develop a prototype system and demonstrate it to fire chiefs and other first responders

Decision support system for emergency management: Road tunnels

Goal of paperThe paper describes three models integrated in the DSS. It also shows the application cases for different hypothetical emergencies in a tunnel.

Defining Team Performance for Simulation-based Training: Methodology, Metrics, and Opportunities for Emergency Medicine

GoalThis consensus paper: 1) proposes a scientifically based methodology for SBT design and , 2) reviews existing team performance metrics in health care along with recommendations, and 3) focuses on leadership as a target for SBT team , because it has a high likelihood to improve many team processes and ultimately performance.

Detection of undesirable communication patterns in multi-agent systems

Aim: efficiently find and describe communication patterns that should be avoided in multi-agent systems (MAS) and identify the agents involved in these.Main goal is the and improvement of communication architectures, instead of the balance of the workload of the components.

Developing shared situational awareness for emergency management

Goal:The purpose of our research was to identify the factors that affect the formation of shared situation awareness in search and rescue operations. Pg 1The hypothesis is that it is possible to find such SSA elements that help to split the development of SAR activities into more concrete and realizable phases. Pg 2Our first goal was to specify the critical information needs of the SAR operation on the operational level. In order to develop fluency in communication the different means of communication to be described. Our second goal was to describe how different actors communicate during an SAR operation. Our third goal was to study in more detail the role of trust in the SAR context. Trust has influence both on the quality and on the fluency of communication. The systematic development of trust is easier when we know the elements which trust comprises. The presumption in our research was that a certain amount of trust exists between actors. However, if trust could be increased the availability,reliability, and temporal accuracy of information could be improved. Pg 2

Development and evaluation of ontology for intelligent decision support in medical emergency management for mass gatherings

Goal:In this paper, we describe the process of developing and evaluating a Domain Ontology for Mass Gatherings (DO4MG) with a focus on medical management. As part of the , we illustrate the application ofDO4MG for implementing a case-based reasoning decision support for medical management in mass gatherings.
