Title Understanding humanitarian supply chains – Developing an integrated process analysis toolkit Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2013
Volume Issue Pages 210-219
Keywords Decision support systems; Information systems; Supply chain management; Decision support tools; Humanitarian logistics; Logistics process; Performance measurements; Process analysis; Reference modeling; Response performance; Technological components; Societies and institutions
Abstract In this paper we present the development of an integrated process analysis toolkit for humanitarian logistics. The toolkit integrates a conceptual and a technological component. Our approach follows a case study-based modeling and design approach. The developed concept was evaluated in two humanitarian organizations. Based on these results we extended and integrated the tool-supported process analysis approach, which is ready to use for the structural and quantitative analysis of humanitarian logistics processes. The toolkit can be applied in humanitarian organizations as a decision support tool for designing, planning and executing their logistics processes. Thus, the application affects the preparedness of humanitarian organizations as well as their response performance. The process analysis toolkit is embedded in an overall research agenda with the objective to provide humanitarian organizations with the capabilities to identify, monitor, and improve their logistics processes respecting the organization specific objectives.

Title A metamodel and its ontology to guide crisis characterization and its collaborative management Type Conference Article
Year 2008 Publication Proceedings of ISCRAM 2008 – 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2008
Volume Issue Pages 189-196
Keywords Characterization; Hardware; Ontology; Automated reasoning; Collaborative management; Collaborative process; Crisis; Crisis management; Metamodeling; Reference modeling; System of systems; Information systems
Abstract This paper presents a research in progress about the French ISyCri project that aims at providing partners involved in crisis management with an agile Mediation Information System (MIS). Not only this MIS shoul support the interoperability of the partners' information systems but it is also dedicated to coordinate their activities through a collaborative process. One of the first and main steps towards such a MIS, is to elaborate a common and sharable reference model built to characterize crisis situations. Such a model is also an input for automated reasoning to elaborate and adapt a crisis solving collaborative process. This article presents the objective of the project, our approach and our first results: a UML metamodel of crisis situation and its corresponding OWL ontology on top of which deductions are possible.

Title Secure transmission of pre-clinical ultrasound video data at the scene of a mass casualty incident Type Conference Article
Year 2007 Publication Intelligent Human Computer Systems for Crisis Response and Management, ISCRAM 2007 Academic Proceedings Papers Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2007
Volume Issue Pages 377-383
Keywords Intelligent networks; Network management; Network security; Ultrasonic applications; Video streaming; Further treatments; Innovative approaches; Mass casualty incidents; Portable ultrasound; Pre-clinical; Reference modeling; Sctp; Secure transmission; Network layers
Abstract The use of portable ultrasound devices enables a better and immediate diagnostics at the scene of a mass casualty incident. The detection of free fluid in abdomen and thorax is an important indicator for the further treatment. The gained information affects the triage of casualties, the pre-clinical medical attendance and the patient management. The presented article describes an innovative approach to transmit sonographic video streams over wireless networks to a remote hospital, where the medical data is used for diagnostics. For the secure transmission of data a new network unit is designed, which gathers information with regard to the network status and the character of transported data. This “Intelligent Network” is located in the transport layer of the OSI reference model and enables a dynamic interconnection between network and application, provides an interface for functional transparency and the disclosure of parameters and establishes the basis for an universal security system.

Title Towards an interoperable data model for forest fire reports Type Conference Article
Year 2009 Publication ISCRAM 2009 – 6th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management: Boundary Spanning Initiatives and New Perspectives Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2009
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Data structures; Deforestation; Emergency services; Fires; Information systems; Different granularities; Edxl-De; Forest fires; Heterogeneous data; Independent systems; Reference modeling; Scattered sources; XML schemas; Interoperability
Abstract The creation of action statistics of fire extinction services is a common activity in the management of forest-fires emergencies. The compilation of action data and the elaboration of statistics based upon those data allow drawing relevant information about forest fires emergencies and fire extinction services. The creation of action statistics requires the exchange of heterogeneous data, with different granularity and detail, among scattered sources. This paper introduces a Forest Fire Report Data Model devoted to be a data reference model for sharing and exchanging forest fire reports in order to achieve syntactic interoperability among independent systems. The definition of the model has been based on the review of forest fire statistics made by different agencies as well as the experience gained in developing an information system, called SIU6, for the creation of action reports of.
