Modeling Collaboration for Crisis and Emergency Management

摘要

Managing crisis and emergency requires a deep knowledge of the related scenario. Simulation and analysis tools are considered as a promising mean to reach such understanding. Precondition to these types of tools is the availability of a graphical modeling language allowing domain experts to build formally grounded models. To reach this goal, in this paper, we propose the CEML language and the related meta-model to describe structural aspects of crisis and emergency scenarios. The meta-model consists of a set of modeling constructs, a set of domain relationships, and a set of modeling rules. Finally, we propose a preliminary set of collaboration design patterns to model interaction and communication exchange arising among emergency services providers and citizens to solve the crisis.
