A Hybrid Decision Support System for Disaster/Crisis Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computer support for crisis management is currently mostly focused on immediate emergency and rescue operations, while there are few all in one systems capable of deploying support to decision making processes in state administration and at international level. The paper presents the concept of a Hybrid Decision Support System for Crisis Management (HSWDK). The idea has been developed with a view to, firstly, demonstrating the potential inherent in systems that would be able to address a wide range of emergency response operations, and secondly, outlining a system architecture proposal. The discussion is placed in the context of Poland’s crisis management system, which provides both an inspiration and an underpinning for the proposed “Four Lights” platform. The authors also describe some recent applications and current development trends in the area of crisis/disaster management systems.

متن کاملA Decision Support System for Distribution Network Design for Disaster Response
This paper proposes a Decision Support System (DSS) for designing a distribution network for humanitarian relief in disasters. Based on our observations and discussions with experts in crisis management, we identify and model the decision-making steps for designing this type of network. We identify the objectives and constraints for each of these decision steps, and then we propose the mathemat...
