Ecological Model of Disaster Management

Model-driven disaster management

Disaster management (DM) is a challenging domain to model because of the variety of dynamic characteristics attached to the domain. Metamodeling is a model-driven approach that describes how semantic domain models can be built into an artifact called a Metamodel. By collecting all the domain concepts and partitioning the domain problems into sub-domain-problems, a metamodel can produce a domain...

Ecological Disaster as Contextual Transformation

A Comprehensive Conceptual Model for Disaster Management

1. A model can simplify complex events by helping to distinguish between critical elements. Its usefulness is more significant when responding to disasters with severe time constraints. 2. Comparing actual conditions with a theoretical model can lead to a better understanding of the current situation and can thus facilitate the planning process and the comprehensive completion of disaster manag...

AN ECOLOGICAL MODEL FOR ORGANIzATIONAL KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Research in Knowledge Management (KM) has gained distinguished attention in recent years, and different views of methods have been proposed in existing literature. An initial study was the process view that focused on the creation, organization, sharing, and application of explicit and tacit knowledge. Another recent perspective is the resource-based view that emphasizes how knowledge resources...

Formal model of earthquake disaster mitigation and management system

Background Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) consist of sensors and actors connected through wireless medium. In the network, sensors are used to sense complex events in an environment and actors take intelligent decisions and perform actions as required. Sensors are cheap devices which have low power batteries, slow processing capabilities and short communication range as compared to ...
