“…This is a particular strength of the synthetic information-based methodology. Government institutions are already promoting information sharing and collaboration (e.g., Morentz, 2008), but our methodology goes beyond that in enabling deep predictive analytics through simulation.…”

“…The UICDS architecture is a federated system of interconnected "core servers". A UICDS core server communicates with external incident management applications or other data services to gather incident related information which is stored in the UICDS situational awareness database (SA) as work products [2]. …”

The essential requirements of effective emergency management and response include pertinent information sharing across various government agencies as well as non-governmental and private organizations to assess the situation, identify the needed resources for emergency response and generate response plans. Interoperability is a key requirement for information sharing from disparate systems and organizations, such as the case in emergency response. In this demo, we present the capabilities and features of application to application level information sharing among different incident management systems via DHSinitiated information sharing platform called UICDS (Unified Incident Command and Decision Support).

“…For process integration, de-facto standards such as OASIS SOA reference architecture 1 are available for supporting inter-organizational process and service modeling and interoperability over heterogeneous hardware and software in large distributed environments. Also the Unified Incident Command and Decision Support (UICDS) is the middleware infrastructure solution that enables commercial and government incident management technologies to share information and support decisions for the National Response Framework and National Incident Management to prevent, protect, respond, and recover from natural, technological, and terrorist events [40].…”
