An Application View of COORDINATORS: Coordination Managers for First Responders
نویسندگان
چکیده
COORDINATORs are coordination managers for fielded first responders. Each first response team is paired with a COORDINATOR coordination manager which is running on a mobile computing device. COORDINATORs provide decision support to first response teams by reasoning about who should be doing what, when, with what resource, in support of which other team, and so forth. COORDINATORs respond to the dynamics of the environment by (re)coordinating to determine the right course of action for the current circumstances. COORDINATORs have been implemented using wireless PDAs and proprietary first responder location tracking technologies. This paper describes COORDINATORs, the motivation for them, the underlying agent architecture, implementation issues, and first response exercises.

COORDINATORs: Future Directions Extended Abstract
Introduction We have developed a system to assist first responders called COORDINATORs(Wagner et al. 2004b; 2004a). COORDINATORs are coordination managers for fielded first responders and their commanders. Each fielded first responder or first responder team is paired with a COORDINATOR coordination manager which runs on a mobile computing device. COORDINATORs provide decision support to first ...
متن کاملCOORDINATORs: TAEMS Modeling and Interfacing for First Response
The number and kind of threats to life and property in an emergency situation is immense. Couple the magnitude of the potential threats with their typically rapid evolution from first detection to response, and the need for fast, coordinated response is apparent. This need is only increased by the threat of chemical, biological, or nuclear terrorist acts. The wide array of potential threats tog...

متن کاملTiming Interruptions for Better Human-Computer Coordinated Planning
Recent developments in the area of automated systems for planning and scheduling demonstrate the potential for autonomous agents to collaborate with and support teams of people operating in highly dynamic environments (Schurr et al. 2005). A wide variety of mission-critical domains exhibit such highly dynamic environments, ranging from first responders (Wagner et al. 2004), through exploration ...
متن کاملImpact of Introducing Full-time In-house Coordinators on Referral and Organ Donation Rates in Rio de Janeiro Public Hospitals: A Health Care Innovation Practice.
Establishing an organization to promote organ donation and a good organ procurement team assure quality and improve performance on organ donation rates. Brazil's organ procurement structure is based on 2 models disseminated worldwide: the "Spanish model," based on in-house coordinators, and the "American organ procurement organization (OPO) model," with extra-hospital coordinators. In 2006, Bra...
