Paper Abstract:
|
Effective management of emergency requires timely information, which has to be shared among different emergency responders. This information needs to be coordinated in order to make decisions at all levels of the emergency management. This paper focuses on a foundation for efficient management of the emergency. Efficient management of the emergency is obstructed with many factors such as information unavailability for decision making and for situational awareness, stress, information overload, unstructured data from different sources, and data in different formats. So, to avoid the factors which cause obstruction for efficient emergency management, data from different databases has to be integrated in a semantic way. The research challenge addressed in this paper is to formulate a reference architecture for data integration to optimize the operations of emergency management. The paper establishes the need for IT reference architecture for efficient operations of emergency management based on real time data integration. |
