Forming a global monitoring mechanism and a spatiotemporal performance model for geospatial services.
Summary

We propose a spatiotemporal performance evaluation mechanism to improve the accuracy. Specially, a cloud and volunteer computing mechanism is proposed to collect performance information of globally distributed GIServices. A global spatiotemporal performance model is designed to integrate spatiotemporal dynamics for better performance evaluation for users from different regions at different times.

Comparing four operational SAR-based water and flood detection approaches.
Summary

In this study, the design of the four approaches and their methodological backgrounds are explained in detail, while simultaneously elaborating on the preferred application domains for the different algorithms. The advantages and disadvantages of the four approaches are identified by qualitatively as well as quantitatively evaluating the water masks derived from data of the TanDEM-X mission for five test sites located in Vietnam, China, Germany, Mali, and the Netherlands.

Optimal Path Selection under Emergency Based on the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method.
Summary

This paper proposed the optimal route choice model based on AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method under the emergency, the presented algorithm based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation algorithm, combining hierarchy analytic method (AHP), it makes the calculated conclusion has higher reliability and accuracy.

Cross-domain integrating and reasoning spaces for offsite nuclear emergency response.
Summary

To solve the problems of heterogeneity and disorder in the cross-domain integration processes for offsite nuclear emergency response, the integrated decision-making framework of the CDIRS spaces based on Space Mapping and Semantic Web is proposed.Under this framework, the method of feature mapping and space modeling, interoperable mediating and interoperability verifying, ordered integrating and reasoning, which are key steps of the CDIRS method, are presented

Geotagging Twitter Messages in Crisis Management.
Summary

this paper presents OzCT geotagger that automatically detects the location(s) mentioned in the content of tweets with three possibilities: definite, ambiguous and no-location.It also semantically annotates the tweet components utilizing existing and new ontologies.

Modeling and representation for earthquake emergency response knowledge: perspective for working with geo-ontology.
Summary

The project aims to develop disaster information and EDER knowledge to intelligently and dynamically generate emergency countermeasures for all levels of government by furthering geographic information creation through automatic processing and intelligent service provision

Preparing for Emergency Situations.
Summary

The developed models are intended to reflect intelligent anticipatory systems for human operator anticipation of future consequences. As a way to catch what should be included in this netbased Agora and to join the split pictures that is present, Team Syntegrity could be a helpful tool. The purpose of Team Syntegrity is to stimulate collaboration and incite cross fertilization and creativity.

Towards a Holistic Framework for the Evaluation of Emergency Plans in Indoor Environments.
Summary

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.

Context-based automatic reconstruction and texturing of 3D urban terrain for quick-response tasks.
Summary

The purpose is to demonstrate that an existing model can be updated, enriched by new information, and exported into simulation software.

Supporting synthesis in geovisualization.
Summary

we have developed an experimental approach for observing and characterizing the process of synthesis of geovisualization data.

eu 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 Crisis Management. PoS is endorsed and supported by the Disaster Competence Network Austria (DCNA) as well as by the STAMINA and TeamAware H2020 projects.
