'Collaborative technology for coordinating crisis management', Toulouse, France
In a crisis, different actors have to act simultaneously in order to reduce a situation's potential impact. To do this, a variety of entities, from police to military forces, medical organisations, civil society organizations and others, have to collaborate and act in a coordinated way.
The conference will look at the benefits of adopting collaborative enabling information technologies such as agent based-systems, collaborative mechanisms, semantic web and group decision support systems. The event will establish how collaborative information technologies help coordination of crisis management for all stakeholders. Session topics will include:
- cooperative information gathering and situation awareness;
- social networks observations;
- crisis ontology;
- adaptive and self-organisation of crisis management teams;
- information system interoperability and inter-organisational issues;
- group decision support;
- crisis process design, enactment and adaptation;
- agent models for: negotiation, trust, resource allocation, planning and acting collaboratively;
- crisis management systems.For further information, please visit: http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/wikka.php?wakka=CT2CM2012%20(opens in new window)
