A Simulation Environment for Information Sharing Interactions in Emergency Contexts, by Gaia Trecarichi

A Simulation Environment for Information Sharing Interactions in Emergency Contexts Gaia Trecarichi, University of Trento The Problem OpenKnowledge (OK) In emergency contexts...  An interaction-driven mechanism relying on a distributed infrastructure (OK Kernel);  Large number of actors involved: emergency  Enable finding and coordination of peers by publishing, coordination center, fire discovering and executing interaction models (IM), i.e. multi brigade, civil protection, party conversational protocols, specified in Lightweight volunteers, citizen, etc. Coordination Calculus (LCC) ...coordination LCC OK Kernel  Geographically dispersed mechanisms must: agents collaborate and coordinate in the disaster  Support different architectures for scenes by exchanging and information sharing in large- report information (e.g., scale distributed settings practicability of disaster- prone areas) IM Subscription  Provide dynamic and flexible interaction patterns: agents  Access to heterogeneous engage in complex interactions services needed to plan or suddenly change their activities, make decisions activities and forward directives to subordinates IM Run  Provide adaptiveness: agents deal with different organizations with different procedures IM Bootstrap Simulation Environment Experimental Test-Bed  Model the behaviour of each  Is the OK infrastructure able to support different models of agent involved in a information-sharing? e-response activity  Under which conditions the OK paradigm, exploited in its  Execute predefined decentralized nature, improves the performance of more interaction models within a conventional centralized approaches? P2P infrastructure  Visualize and analyze a Preliminary Results simulated coordination task e-Response System Architecture  Percentage of mobile agents through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) arriving at destination  Time needed to arrive at destination Emergency GUI Conclusions  The OK system supports different information sharing architectures Simulated Scenarios  Under ideal assumptions, the OK infrastructure is equally effective in both centralized (hierarchical) and decentralized (p2p) information gathering This work has been supported by the OpenKnowledge European project (FP6-027253).
