Toward Implementation of Distributed Alerts in a Mobile Disaster Response Information Support Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-agency response to mass-casualty incidents is a complex socio-technical domain with unique communication and information management needs to provide real-time situation awareness. We describe technical and human factors challenges to implementation of distributed alerts in a mobile, wirelessly enabled informatics platform based on a flexible, non-locking remote object architecture and publish-subscribe messaging. A conceptual model organizes the “lifespan” of an alert into sequential stages from instantiation by decision logic, dissemination to appropriate responders, and presentation on client device interfaces. Use-cases considered for implementation include alerts based on vital signs telemetry, geo-location, and workflow management.
