	Title	TREC Incident Streams: Finding Actionable Information on Social Media			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2019	Publication	Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2019

	Keywords	Emergency Management, Crisis Informatics, Real-time, Twitter, Categorization
	Abstract	The Text Retrieval Conference (TREC) Incident Streams track is a new initiative that aims to mature social media-based emergency response technology. This initiative advances the state of the art in this area through an evaluation challenge, which attracts researchers and developers from across the globe. The 2018 edition of the track provides a standardized evaluation methodology, an ontology of emergency-relevant social media information types, proposes a scale for information criticality, and releases a dataset containing fifteen test events and approximately 20,000 labeled tweets. Analysis of this dataset reveals a significant amount of actionable information on social media during emergencies (> 10%). While this data is valuable for emergency response efforts, analysis of the 39 state-of-the-art systems demonstrate a performance gap in identifying this data. We therefore find the current state-of-the-art is insufficient for emergency responders? requirements, particularly for rare actionable information for which there is little prior training data available.

	Title	Evaluating Critical Infrastructure Resilience via Tolerance Triangles: Hungarian Highway pilot case study			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	critical infrastructure resilience, tolerance triangles, questionnaire, IMPROVER
	Abstract	While accepted as part of critical infrastructure (CI) resilience, no consensus exists on how to measure the exact minimum level of service or the rapidity of rapidly restoring services. The H2020 European project IMPROVER (Improved risk evaluation and implementation of resilience concepts to critical infrastructure) suggests to use the public?s declared tolerance levels for both minimum level of service and rapidity of service restoration as criteria with which to evaluate if the resilience of a given CI is resilient enough. This paper demonstrates the development of a questionnaire-based methodology to determine public tolerance levels. It then tests this methodology via a pilot case study at IMPROVER?s Hungarian Highway Living Lab. The paper argues that public tolerance levels are a reasonable choice for resilience evaluation criteria and demonstrates that the questionnaire-based methodology permits one to evaluate public perception in such a way as to compare it to technical resilience analyses.

	Title	Evaluation Framework for the iTRACK Integrated 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	Evaluation Framework, Software Testing, Software Usability, Software Usefulness, Humanitarian Disaster
	Abstract	Evaluation and testing are major steps in the development of any information system, particularly if it is to be used in high-risk contexts such as conflicts. While thus far there are various approaches for testing against technology requirements; usability or usefulness, there is a lack of a comprehensive evaluation framework that combines the three elements. The lack of such a framework and commonly agreed standards constitutes a barrier for innovation, and at the same time imposes risks to responders if the technology is introduced without proper testing. This paper aims to close this gap. Based on a reviewing of evaluation methods and measurement metrics, we design a comprehensive evaluation framework including common code quality testing metrics, usability testing methods, subjective usefulness questionnaires, and performance indicators. We demonstrate our approach by using the example of an integrated system for the safety and security of humanitarian missions, and we highlight how our approach allows measuring the system?s quality and usefulness.

	Title	Taxonomy of Community Interaction in Crises and Disasters			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	Information and communication technology, sociotechnical systems, crisis and disaster management, community interaction
	Abstract	Taxonomies are integral to systems engineering, as they structure our knowledge of a field and so provide the foundation for technological development. We contribute such taxonomies for the field of Community Interaction and Engagement in Crisis and Disaster Management, which represents the interface between members of the public who commit to relief efforts and established organisations that have a pre-defined role in crisis management. These actors are unified in their purpose to help those in need, but also set apart by their organisational structures and modes of operation. We classify the actors of Community Interaction and Engagement, as well as the interactions between them. Our contribution outlines areas where the application of Information and Communication Technology can offer benefits to Community Interaction and Engagement.

	Title	Exploring multiplexing tools for co-visualization in crisis units			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	geovisualization, multiplexing tools, crisis management.
	Abstract	Natural hazards can generate damages in large inhabited areas in a very short time period. Crisis managers must plan interventions very quickly to facilitate the arrival of the first emergency. In a crisis unit, experts visualize heterogeneous visual representations of spatio-temporal information, in order to facilitate decision-making, based on various types of screens, i.e. laptops, tablets, or wall screens. Visualizing all this information at the same time on the same interface would lead to cognitive overload. In this paper, we assume that it could be of interest to provide innovative co-visualization models and tools, to bring hazard, geospatial and climate information together, in a shared interface. We propose to explore spatial and temporal multiplexing tools within a dedicated geovisualization environment, in order to help expert decision-making. The proposition is implemented with the case study of a tsunami event in the Caribbean sea.

	Title	Challenges in Community Resilience Planning and Opportunities with Simulation Modeling			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	Community resilience; human-centered design; interface design; simulation modeling; recovery planning
	Abstract	The importance of community resilience has become increasingly recognized in emergency management and post-disaster community well-being. To this end, three seismic resilience planning initiatives have been conducted in the U.S. in the last decade to envision the current state of community resilience. Experts who participated in these initiatives confronted challenges that must be addressed for future planning initiatives. We interviewed eighteen participants to learn about the community resilience planning process, its characteristics, and challenges. Conducting qualitative content analysis, we identify six main challenges to community resilience planning: complex network systems; interdependencies among built environment systems; inter-organizational collaboration; connections between the built environment and social systems; communications between built environment and social institutions? experts; and communication among decision-makers, social stakeholders, and community members. To overcome the identified challenges, we discuss the capability of human-centered simulation modeling as a combination of simulation modeling and human-centered design to facilitate community resilience planning.

	Title	Semantic Understanding of Human Mobility Lifestyle to support Crisis Management			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	lifestyle patterns, mobility patterns, semantic annotations, semantic mobility
	Abstract	In this paper, we propose a method for understanding the semantics of mobility (mainly related to lifestyle) patterns based on stay point detection from tracking data. The method identifies the context (trip purpose and visited point of interest) of tracking data by using large-scale data collection infrastructure. We evaluate our method with a tracking dataset in Birmingham (European project SETA) generated by 534 users from September 2017 to September 2018. To this end, we compare insights from the tracking data with check-in mobility in social media. The results show that both data capture rich human lifestyle features related to the visited point of interest. Our study provides solid evidence that lifestyle patterns from tracking and social media data can indeed be useful for understanding and gauging the level of disruption after a crisis, as it is possible to check the deviation of habits from normal conditions and post-crisis.

	Title	Robust Private Web Maps with Open Tools and Open Data			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	Maps, Web-Based Systems, Tools, Open Data, OpenStreetMap
	Abstract	Crisis management information often has a geospatial dimension that allows it to be visualized on a map. As more and more systems are developed as web-based applications, maps have also become a common sight in such applications. The de-facto solution to add maps to web-based applications is to integrate a third-party service. For web-based crisis management information systems, this approach has two disadvantages. First, the third-party service must be available and reachable. Second, by using third-party services you implicitly share what you are viewing, with the risk of unintentionally exposing sensitive location information. In this Tool Talks paper, we show how to create a robust and private alternative for web-based maps using open source tools and open data.

	Title	Identifying functions for smartphone based applications in volunteer emergency response			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	Voluntary emergency response, ICT, smartphone application, end users, co-production.
	Abstract	Emergency response organisations struggle with resource constraints and thereby faces challenges in providing high-quality public services. Utilising voluntary first responders is one way to address these challenges. There are different types of volunteers who can help at an emergency site, e.g. citizen volunteers or voluntary professionals from other occupations. To successfully engage with and utilise these resources, adequate information and communication technology (ICT) is necessary. In this meta-study, combining and further exploring two previous studies, the aim is to identify, analyse and evaluate suitable functions for smartphone applications that can be used to dispatch and support volunteers. The results show that the functions can be divided into essential ones that are necessary for the response to work at all, and others that might contribute to a more effective response. The study also shows that the same functions can be used for different volunteer groups.

	Title	Combining a social science approach and GIS-based simulation to analyse evacuation in natural disasters: A case study in the Chilean community of Talcahuano			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	Interdisciplinary approach, case study, evacuation, tsunami, recommendations disaster risk management
	Abstract	In rapid-onset disasters the time needed for evacuation is crucial. Aside from the behaviour of the population, the road network plays a fundamental role. It serves as a medium to reach a safe area. This study analyses the entire evacuation process, from decision-making up to the arrival at an evacuation zone by combining standardised questionnaires and GIS-based simulation. Based on a case study in the Chilean community of Talcahuano, an event-based past scenario and a hypothetical future scenario is investigated, integrating the affected population in the research process. The main problem identified in past evacuations has been time delay due to congestions, which also is evident in the results of the hypothetical future scenario. A result which supports evacuation by foot. This paper argues that a combination of scientific methods is essential for analysing evacuation and to reduce the risk due to time delay, critical route and transport medium choice.

	Title	Understanding the Main Themes Towards a Visual Analytics Based Model for Crisis Management 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	Crisis Management, Decision-Making, Visual Analytics, Computational Model.
	Abstract	Crisis Management (CM) refers to the ability to deal with crisis tasks in different phases and iterations. People working in a crisis are generally under stress to make the right decision at the right time. They have to process large amounts of data and to assimilate the received information in an intuitive and visual way. Visual Analytics (VA) is potentially useful to analyze and understand the huge amount of data in several areas including in a crisis. We designed a survey protocol to understand which themes influence visualizations to support CM. In previous work, we carried out systematic mapping studies, analysis of official documents, ethnographic studies, questionnaires during the large events held in Brazil in recent years. In this work, we interviewed eight CM specialists. We analyzed this data qualitatively with the coding technique. Then we evaluated the coding results with the focus group technique. With the results, we identified the relationships between the visual needs and other main themes of influence for CM. This thematic synthesis enabled us to build a draft model based on VA. We hope that, after future cycles of validations and improvements, the agencies that manage crises might use this model as a reference in their activities of knowledge production and decision-making.

	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Cyber resilience, System dynamics, Critical infrastructure protection (CIP)
	Abstract	With the latent problem of security breaches, denial of service attacks, other types of cybercrime, and cyber incidents in general, the correct management of cyber resilience in critical infrastructures has become a high priority. However, the very nature of cyber resilience, requires managing variables whose effects are hard to predict, and that could potentially be expensive. This makes the management of cyber resilience in critical infrastructures a substantially hard task. To address the unpredictability of the variables involved in managing cyber resilience, we have developed a system dynamics model that represents the theoretical behaviors of variables involved in the management of cyber resilience. With this model, we have simulated different scenarios that show how the dynamics of different variables act, and to show how the system would react to different inputs.

	Title	Sorting the good from the bad smartphone application to alert residents in case of disasters – Experiments in France			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	Alert, Smartphone application, Major risks
	Abstract	The number of smartphone applications to alert and inform the population in a risk situation in France is too large and these solutions are still unknow by the population. This study proposes an evaluation protocol based on various indicators, which take into account the capacity of the applications to send a targeted alert, their attractiveness, the ability of individuals to emit information and number of hazards considered. The results obtained on 50 applications deployed in France show that very few of them meet the objectives of the alert, in the sense defined by civil security, because of a single-risk approach, a unique sense of communication, and the low acceptance of these solutions by citizens.

	Title	Filtering images extracted from social media in the response phase of emergency events			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	rapid mapping, floods, information extraction, filtering, crowdsourcing
	Abstract	The use of social media to support emergency operators in the first hours of the response phases can improve the quality of the information available and awareness on ongoing emergency events. Social media contain both textual and visual information, in the form of pictures and videos. The problem related to the use of social media posts as a source of information during emergencies lies in the difficulty of selecting the relevant information among a very large amount of irrelevant information. In particular, we focus on the extraction of images relevant to an event for rapid mapping purpose. In this paper, a set of possible filters is proposed and analyzed with the goal of selecting useful images from posts and of evaluating how precision and recall are impacted. Filtering techniques, which include both automated and crowdsourced steps, have the goal of providing better quality posts and easy manageable data volumes both to emergency responders and rapid mapping operators. The impact of the filters on precision and recall in extracting relevant images is discussed in the paper in two different case studies.

	Title	Enhanced Crisis-Preparation of Critical Infrastructures through a Participatory Qualitative-Quantitative Interdependency Analysis Approach			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	Critical Infrastructure Protection, Interdependency, Resilience, Vulnerability, Cascading Effects, Emergency Management, Participatory Approach
	Abstract	Critical Infrastructure (CI) failures are aggravated by cascading effects due to interdependencies between different infrastructure systems and with emergency management. Findings of the German, BMBF-funded research project ?CIRMin? highlight needs for concrete assessments of such interdependencies. Driven by challenges of limited data and knowledge accessibility, the developed approach integrates qualitative information from expert interviews and discussions with quantitative, place-based analyses in three selected German cities and an adjacent county. This paper particularly discusses how the mixed methods approach has been operationalized. Based on anonymized findings, it provides a comprehensive guidance to interdependency analysis, from survey and categorization of system elements and interrelations, their possible mutual impacts, to zooming into selected dependencies through GIS mapping. This facilitates reliably assessing the need for maintenance of critical functionalities in crisis situations, available resources, auxiliary powers, and optimization of response time.

However, casualties during massive displacement in a context of stress and in a potentially degraded environment may be high due to non-compliance with instructions, accidents, traffic jams, incivilities, lack of preparation of civil security or increased exposure to hazards. Working in evacuation plans is therefore fundamental in avoiding casualties caused by improvisation and in promoting self-evacuation whenever possible. Since it is impossible to re-create the conditions of a crisis on the ground to assess such evacuation plans, there is a need for realistic models in order to evaluate them using simulations. In this paper, we present the ESCAPE software framework that helps in the development of such plans and testing them. In particular, ESCAPE, which uses the GAMA open-source platform as a core component, provides an agent-based simulation tool that supports simulation of the evacuation of a city's population at fine temporal and Geographical scales. The framework was developed such that it works for a wide range of scenarios, both in terms of hazards, geographical configurations, individual behaviors and crisis management. In order to show its adaptability, two applications are presented, one concerning the evacuation of the city of Rouen (France) in the context of a technological hazard and the other pertaining to the evacuation of the district of Hanoi (Vietnam) in the event of floods.

	Title	Simulating Spontaneous Volunteers: A System Entity Structure for Defining Disaster Scenarios			Type	Conference Article

	Abstract	Fast and easy communication, e.g. via Twitter or Facebook, encourages self-coordination between spontaneous volunteers in disasters. Unfortunately, this is more and more challenging official disaster management. The need for the directed coordination of spontaneous volunteers triggered researchers to develop effective coordination approaches. However, evaluating and comparing such approaches as well as their exercising are lacking a standardized way to describe repeatable disaster scenarios, e.g. for simulations. Therefore, we present a novel System Entity Structure (SES) for describing disaster scenarios considering the disaster environment, communication infrastructure, disaster management, and population of spontaneous volunteers. The SES is discussed as a promising scheme for including spontaneous volunteers in disaster scenarios on a general level. Its applicability is demonstrated by a Pruned Entity Structure derived from a real disaster scenario. Based on the results, we give an outlook on our subsequent research, the XML-based Spontaneous Volunteer Coordination Scenario Definition Language (SVCSDL).

	Title	An Automatic Approach to Qualitative Risk Assessment in Metropolitan Areas			Type	Conference Article

	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Risk assessment, geographic information system, conceptual modeling, ontology, computational creativity
	Abstract	Risk assessment aims at improving prevention and preparedness phases of the crisis management lifecycle. Qualitative risk assessment of a system is important for risks identification and analysis by the various stakeholders and often requires multi-disciplinary knowledge. We present an automatic approach to qualitative risk assessment in metropolitan areas using semantic techniques. In particular, users are provided with a computational support to identify and prioritize by relevance risks of city services, through generation of semantic descriptions of risk situations. This approach is enabled by a software system consisting of: TERMINUS, a domain ontology representing city knowledge; WS-CREAM, a web service implementing risk identification and ranking functions; and CIPCast, a GIS-based Decision Support System with functions of risk forecast due to natural hazards. Finally we present the results of a preliminary validation of the generated risks concerning some points of interest in two different areas of the city of Rome.

	Title	Identifying potential landslide location using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)			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	Susceptibility mapping, disaster prevention, landslides, drones
	Abstract	The impact of landslides is determined by the previous state of vulnerability and susceptibility present in a community. Vulnerability is related to physical aspects and susceptibility is defined as the propensity or tendency of an area to be affected by the occurrence of a given hazard. Knowledge of geography allows us to characterize and measure some of these factors. For example, in landslides called huaicos in Peru, these are related to the existence of a slope and soil type of the hills favorable to the loosening of land masses, as well as the increase in rainfall and the presence of streams. The use of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, commonly called drones) for the identification of susceptibility zones is presented in this paper. The result is positive for using the georeferenced data to identify potential landslide flow using as unique criterion surface slopes.

	Title	SEMIoTICS: Semantic Model-Driven Development for IoT Interoperability of Emergency Services			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	Semantic interoperability, early warning system, internet-of-things, SEMIoTICS, IoT platform
	Abstract	Modern early warning systems (EWSs) use Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies to realize real-time data acquisition, risk detection and message brokering between data sources and warnings? destinations. Interoperability is crucial for effective EWSs, enabling the integration of components and the interworking with other EWSs. IoT technologies potentially improve the EWS efficiency and effectiveness, but this potential can only be exploited if interoperability challenges are properly addressed. The three main challenges for interoperability are: (1) achieving semantic integration of a variety of data sources and different representations; (2) supporting time- and safety-critical applications with performance and scalability; and (3) providing data analysis for effective responses with personalized information requirements. In this paper, we describe the ?SEmantic Model-driven development for IoT Interoperability of emergenCy serviceS? (SEMIoTICS) framework, which supports the development of semantic interoperable IoT EWSs. The framework has been validated with a pilot performed with accident use cases at the port of Valencia. The validation results show that it fulfils the requirements that we derived from the challenges above.

	Title	Detecting Disaster Recovery Activities via Social Media Communication Topics			Type	Conference Article

	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Social Media, Topic modeling, Socio-economic recovery, Used-car demand, Housing demand.
	Abstract	Enhancing situational awareness by mining social media has been widely studied, but little work has been done focusing on recovery phases. To provide evidence to support the possibility of harnessing social media as a sensor of recovery activities, we examine the correlations between topic frequencies on Twitter and people?s socioeconomic recovery activities as reflected in the excess demand for used cars and housing, after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011. Our research suggests that people in the disaster-stricken area communicated more about recovery and disaster damages when they needed to purchase used cars, while the nonlocal population communicated more about going to and supporting the disaster-stricken area. On the other hand, regarding the excess demand for housing, when the local population of the disaster-stricken area started to resettle, they communicated their opinions more than in other periods about disaster-related situations.

	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Social media, humanitarian data processing, text classification, application programming interfaces, data processing services
	Abstract	Over the last few years, extensive research has been conducted to develop technologies to support humanitarian aid tasks. However, many technologies are still limited as they require both manual and automatic approaches, and more importantly, are not ready to be integrated into the disaster response workflows. To tackle this limitation, we develop automatic data processing services that are freely and publicly available, and made to be simple, efficient, and accessible to non-experts. Our services take textual messages (e.g., tweets, Facebook posts, SMS) as input to determine (i) which disaster type the message belongs to, (ii) whether it is informative or not, and (iii) what type of humanitarian information it conveys. We built our services upon machine learning classifiers that are obtained from large-scale comparative experiments utilizing both classical and deep learning algorithms. Our services outperform state-of-the-art publicly available tools in terms of classification accuracy.

	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	Fire service, case study, sociotechnical analysis, work analysis, information systems
	Abstract	The cognitive demands and skills required of a fire engine company when assessing the scene of an incident and the systems they use to manage this information are a matter of life or death. We conducted a case study with an entire fire battalion in Florida (35 firefighters at varying levels of command) to assess their routine technology needs. Using a cognitive work analysis approach, we found that the firefighters in our study relied on mission critical systems that often failed, as well as disparate secondary systems that lacked integration. Capability gaps and inaccessible data also increased the likelihood of errors, creating frustration in the systems that both helped and hindered these firefighters in their daily job tasks. We describe what firefighters need from technology in its present state and we outline usability issues for technology designers and practitioners to leverage in the design of future systems.

	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Exercise management, Mixed reality, Simulation, Deliberate practice, ADL, MSaaS, C2Sim, ExConSim, ExManSim
	Abstract	We argue that current technology for crisis training does not explicitly cater well enough for managing training objectives and skill building metrics throughout the lifespan of training. We suggest how successful crisis training may be enabled by interoperating next-generation exercise management tools with mixed-reality simulations. We propose an architecture consisting of (1) a front-end in which training objectives, essential skills, corresponding events and metrics can be declared, (2) a back-end consisting of simulations that implement the events and metrics and (3) a middleware which transfers information between the front-end and back-end to enable semi-automatic composition of the simulations and performance analysis. The purpose of this architecture is to facilitate learning through the principles of deliberate practice. We indicate where emerging technologies are necessary to achieve this.
