On modeling, collecting and utilizing context information for disaster responses in pervasive environments
Hong‐Linh Truong, Atif Manzoor, Schahram Dustdar · 2009
To support collaborative work in disaster responses, various types of context information must be gathered and shared not only within teams at disaster sites, but also among various teams and services in pervasive environments. We propose a representation for describing context information required for disaster responses. This representation is extensible and interoperable enough to include various concepts describing entities existing in disasters and relationships among these entities. We discuss possible techniques based on XML and Web services technologies to gather and share context information among different pervasive applications and services for disaster responses.
