Title Vigi Flood: a serious game for understanding the challenges of crisis communication Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Flash floods, crisis communication, trust, agent-based modelling and simulation, serious game
Abstract Emergency managers receive communication training about the importance of being ?first, right and credible?,

which is not easy. For instance, in October 2018, the Aude department in the South-West of France was hit by

intense rain. Flash floods were hard to forecast and only the ?orange? level of vigilance could be raised initially, but

the population dismissed this very usual warning in that season. The ?red? level was then raised too late, leading

to high criticism. The main problem here is the loss of trust induced by too many ?false alarms?. In this paper

we propose a serious game called VigiFlood for raising awareness in the population about the difficulty of crisis

communication and their own responsibility for reacting to the alerts. The implemented game still has limited

functionality but already shows interesting results in helping the user to visualise and understand the trust dynamics

Title Real-time Emergency Response through Performant IoT Architectures Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Emergency Evacuation, IoT, Software Architecture, Network Optimization, Queuing Network.
Abstract This paper describes the design of an Internet of Things (IoT) system for building evacuation. There are two main

design decisions for such systems: i) specifying the platform on which the IoT intelligent components should be

located; and ii) establishing the level of collaboration among the components. For safety-critical systems, such as

evacuation, real-time performance and evacuation time are critical. The approach aims to minimize computational

and evacuation delays and uses Queuing Network (QN) models. The approach was tested, by computer simulation,

on a real exhibition venue in Alan Turing Building, Italy, that has 34 sets of IoT sensors and actuators. Experiments

were performed that tested the effect of segmenting the physical space into different sized virtual cubes. Experiments

were also conducted concerning the distribution of the software architecture. The results show that using centralized

architectural pattern with a segmentation of the space into large cubes is the only feasible solution.

Title Communication in Emergency Management through Data Integration and Trust: an introduction to the CEM-DIT system Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords provenance, data matching, data integration, semantic web systems, decision support
Abstract This paper discusses the development of the CEM-DIT (Communication in Emergency Management through Data

Integration and Trust) system, which allows decision makers in crises to send out automated data requests to multiple

heterogeneous and potentially unknown sources and interactively determine how reliable, relevant and trustworthy

the responses are. We describe the underlying technology, which is based partially on data integration and matching,

and partly on utilisation of provenance data. We describe our cooperation with the Urban Observatory (UO), which

allows us to develop the system in collaboration with developers of the kind of crisis-relevant data which the system

is designed for. The system is currently in development, and we describe which parts are fully implemented and

which are currently being developed.

Title Sharing Gut Feelings to Support Collaborative Decision Making Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Knowledge sharing, intuitive teams, collaborative intuitions
Abstract Expertise-based intuition plays a key role in decision making, especially in complex environments as those

involved with crisis and emergency domains where decisions often need to be made on the basis of dynamic,

incomplete, and/ or contradictory information. In such environments, a deliberative analysis is often impossible

or inefficient. Using teams to make collaborative decisions in complex environments can bring benefits to

organizations, but the complexity of supporting this scenario also increases. The present work proposes a

solution based on graphs to support the sharing of the intuition rationale in teams aiming at an accelerated

expertise. The development of the proposal is part of a methodological context of design science research. In

this paper we report the execution of one of the expected cycles that explores the use of generated artifacts in

practice that then produced insights for the proposed computational support.

Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Emergency hub, personalization, cloud, NG112, AI.
Abstract The paper describes the need for, and work in progress to provide the French population with

a modern emergency communication infrastructure that uses open source components to

deliver real time communications from smart phones as well as traditional routes.

The article puts forward the vision of the NexSIS 18-112 project aimed at designing and

implementing the next generation AI enhanced emergency services response platform for

France. The vision and ambition of the NexSIS 18-112 system is to rewrite the command and

control system from scratch at a national level, providing it with state of the art functionalities.

Anticipating the future deployment of 5G networks, the work described in the article explains

how to ensure the transition of the legacy emergency operation systems to an operational IPbased

model, capable of offering voice, video, Instant Messaging, and Real Time Text (RTT)

services to emergency services? operators.

Title Data Acquisition for ad-hoc Evacuation Simulations of Public Buildings Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Evacuation of Public Buildings, Data Fusion, Data Aggregation, Crowd Simulation, Social Simulation
Abstract Crowd simulation is suitable to evaluate evacuation strategies but its validity strongly depends on the quality of input

data. The acquisition of adequate input data is particularly challenging when simulating the evacuation of public

buildings such as universities. As they are publicly accessible, the exact number of persons on site is unknown.

Yet, to investigate specific emergency situations by means of simulation, e.g. amok or fire, information is required

about distribution and amount of people within the building at a specific point of time. Due to data privacy, public

buildings do not implement access control. However, data artifacts are available in various information systems,

e.g., wifi data, room administration. Our hypothesis is, that the acquisition and fusion of such data artifacts is

sufficient to enable data-based ad-hoc simulation of evacuation scenarios as decision support for the operations

management. To this end, we introduce a procedure for the situation-dependent collection fusion of simulation

input data. Furthermore, a case study is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

Title Multi-agent geospatial simulation of human interactions and behaviour in bushfires Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Multi-agent systems, cognitive agents, GIS, communication, bushfires
Abstract Understanding human behaviour and interactions in risk situations may help to improve crisis management

strategies in order to avoid the worst scenarios. In this paper we present a geospatial agent-based model and

simulation of human behaviour in bushfires. We have modelled the social interactions between different actors

involved in bushfires such as firefighter, police, emergency centre managers and civilians. We use the Belief,

Desire and Intention (BDI) architecture to model realistic human behaviour, and the FIPA-ACL standard to

model the communications. We use geospatial data to represent the environment in a realistic way. We show

how the model has been implemented and how we have unified the communications model and the BDI

architecture. Finally, we compare the processing time of two implementations of our model representing a 2D

simple and a 3D GIS environment.
