Objective
To develop advanced and efficient means of supporting collaborate training and evaluation directed to the special needs of environmental emergency management (EEM).
This objective will be pursued by establishing a set of methods or a methodology which will support both emergency management training as well as evaluation of emergency management capability, and developing specification of information technology systems support matching the proposed training and evaluation methodology.
The project goals have been conceived in the light of what is increasingly seen as major problems of medium or large scale EEM organisations. First there is a growing recognition that the efficiency of an emergency organisation depends crucially on the coordination of actions among decision makers involved. Second, it is at present a very complex undertaking to evaluate the EEM preparedness of any medium- or large-scale organisation. Hence, it is always difficult to identify what are the key areas in which EEM response capability should be improved.
The central method of the project involves the refinement and application of a wide range of more or less standard techniques of drills and exercises in given hazardous domains. The techniques will be imported into and further developed within the framework of computer-supported multi-user training. Drills and exercises will, on this approach, take the form of environmental emergency scenarios which will be partly simulated on computers and partly determined by how the users respond and interact. The scenario generator to be specified is a shell for writing and executing scenarios, and it is distinct from traditional simulation in which scenarios are preprogrammed. The scenario generator will support the three separate stages : planning, execution and analysis of a drill.
The MUSTER project is scheduled for a duration of two years, and the end product, detailed requirement specifications for a scenario generator, is planned as input for an intended follow-up project aimed at developing a scenario generator.
