“…The idea beyond the present research of treating emergency response as the problem of planning emergency response actions in an efficient manner is shared by many studies, e.g., (Ng and Chiu, 2006); (Ling, 2009) and many others.…”

The research addresses the problem of exploitation of smart space's facilities for the organization of resources of a smart space into an emergency response community. The members of such a community and people involved in emergency are enabled to use Web-based interface for their communications and making decisions, i.e. they organise a Web-based community. The paper proposes a framework that incorporates concepts of smart space, Web-based communities, and Web-services. The framework replaces real-world resources of the smart space with their service-based representations. As a result of this replacement, the emergency response community comprises Web-services representing resources providing emergency response services. Service-oriented architecture serves to coordinate interactions of the Web-services the framework deals with. The applicability of the proposed framework is demonstrated by a simulated case study on organization of a fire response community.

“…The deNIS was developed by concentrating on performance, scalability, portability, and flexibility quality attributes and it provides real-time knowledge presentation, situation reports, and visualization capabilities. BlueArrow [30] is a web-based decision support system used in emergency evacuation planning that generates evacuation routes for victims to move them as soon as possible to a safe place according to the latest situations of traffic congestion, road networks, and weather conditions by providing real-time data processing capabilities. The authors' focus was performance and scalability.…”

Developing software systems to meet user-demanded functionality is critical. Achieving the design goals by providing the needed functionality is a necessary task, and it is about figuring out a proper set of quality attributes and implementing each one by reflecting a complete set of quality attributes. This study presents popular quality attributes of crisis software systems by conducting a literature review. Each crisis software system has been studied by concentrating on crisis management phases where the system is used, design purposes, and the data processing style. The findings of this research shed light on the crisis software development process by presenting a quality attribute-oriented perspective, addressing design challenges, and recommending to developers remedies to handle challenges.

“…Last year, we have developed a web-based emergency evacuation system called Blue Arrow [8] which can provide several scientific evacuation plans before emergency happened or help users make real-time evacuation plans after emergency happened. We designed a GIS-based User Interface for this system.…”

Many time-critical applications, such as emergency evacuation, demand decision-makers to make prompt decisions under time pressure. Therefore, it is essential to design an intuitive and interactive User Interface to present critical information to users so that they can make effective decisions in time-critical situation. Using Ajax technology, this paper designs a GIS-based, flexible and interactive User Interface for emergency evacuation system to meet the aforementioned requirements.
