SCIA: GIS-Based Software for Assessing the Impacts from Chemical Industrial Accidents

An operational centre for managing major chemical industrial accidents.

The most important characteristic of major chemical accidents, from a societal perspective, is their tendency to produce off-site effects. The extent and severity of the accident may significantly affect the population and the environment of the adjacent areas. Following an accident event, effort should be made to limit such effects. Management decisions should be based on rational and quantita...

Rapid analysis of risk assessment using developed simulation of chemical industrial accidents software package

The environmental consequences are defined as consequences of accidental release of hazardous substances to the natural environment. This release can lead to many hazards depending on the material stored. The consequences of these hazards to the environment are widespread and have significant importance to human communities living in the surroundings. The mathematical models are extremely usefu...

GIS Based Multi-Criteria Analysis for Industrial Site Selection

Site selection is one of the basic vital decisions in the start-up process, expansion or relocation of businesses of all kinds. Construction of a new industrial system is a major long-term investment, and in this sense determining the location is critical point on the road to success or failure of industrial system. One of the main objectives in industrial site selection is finding the most app...

Modelling and Predicting Performance Impacts in a Service-oriented, Industrial Software System from the Automation Domain

Industrial software systems today have reached sizes and complexity such that introducing changes like adding new features or fixing bugs requires significant investments. How these changes affect system qualities like performance or maintainability is typically not know a priori and therefore increase the risks for the investment. In this work we show how based on architecture models early est...
