Abstract. The decisions that guided the design of XPAE, a plan definition language, are discussed. The language is one of the major building blocks of InfoPAE 4.0, an emergency plan deployment system. The language presupposes that a plan will be written as an XML document, a strategy that has well-known benefits. The overall architecture of InfoPAE 4.0 is also sketched and a brief explanation about how the language elements help achieve the desired functionality is included. The design of XPAE builds on the experience accumulated during the last two years with the implementation of a large number of emergency plans using the current version of the tool. 1.
