1. EIDA Project ( Proposal ) Research and Technical Background Emergency Intelligent Decision Assistant: Emergency Intelligent Decision Assistant: Toolkit for Coordinated Emergency Management Toolkit for Coordinated Emergency Management by Claudio Balducelli Sandro Bologna, Adam Maria Gadomski ENEA, July 1995

2. EIDA - Project (proposal) Summary Project Goals Project Methodologies and Tools Project Realization amg

3. EIDA Project Toolkit : 1) Domain problem conceptualization tools 2) Modeling tools 3) Methodology, methods and techniques 4) Software design tools 5) Software modules Project Goals : Development of a domain-oriented toolkit and its validation for a class of Emergency Management active Decision Support Systems. amg

4. active Decision Support Systems Goal-driven decisional support which is based on: user role-model domain model M-M cooperation model EIDA Project

5. Project Methodology and Tools - TOGA Top-down Object-based Goal-oriented Approach Top-down Object-based Goal-oriented Approach Basic conceptual couple: Basic paradigmes: Environment Intelligent Agent interaction

6. Top-down and Object-based : EIDA Project Object-based Top-down Structural decomposition of concepts Representation of concepts in term of objects and relations

7. EIDA Project Goal-oriented (example): E-M goal (losses, risk, intervention,..), Domain( losses generation events, risk objects,..) search Maps (...) search Toxic substances risk model support of

10. Formalization of the Applicative Domain Wp1 Summary - Domain of EM Activity - EM Activities and Tasks - EM operators organizational structure

11. Formalization of the Applicative Domain Wp1 - Domain of EM Activity -> Reusing Muster Model - EM Activities and Tasks -> Use Task Analysis - Agents organizational structure -> ISEM Model Methods and Tools Muster and ISEM are EU projects.

12. Summary - Definition of a Common Terminology - Single Agent Model - Decisional Model Based on Agents Cooperation Definition of Models and System Requirements Wp2

13. Methods and Tools Single Agent Model ( TOGA Th.): Physical Domain of Activity Actions Data acquisition New Information Decisions Goals AD P K P K Abstract - Domain; a representation of Physical Domain of Activity Agent Preference System Agent Knowledge System

14. Definition of Models and System Requirements Wp2 Methods and Tools -> GEMS top-activities loop Detecting/ monitoring Diagnostics Previsions Decision- Making Domain modelsEmergency org. models What-if simul. Role-preferences Information acquisition: with/without request Cause searching Consequence searching Action / task choice Comunication Agent Diagnostic Agent Evaluator Agent Action Selector Agent

15. Methods and Tools Diagnostic agent structure: Domain representation -> focused on the Causal Trees of the Emergency Events and Risk Objects Preference System -> the agent goal is to send to the evaluator agent more and more precise informations about event causes and event characterization Knowledge System -> has the task to execute Cause Searching Process. It could be based on Case Based Reasoning approach Definition of Models and System Requirements Wp2

16. Methods and Tools Evaluator agent structure: Domain representation -> focused on Causal Trees of the Emergency Events and Risk Objects Preference System -> the agent goal is to refine evaluations performing a Consequence Searching Process Knowledge System -> is supported by Numerical Simulators and/or executes a qualitative Case Based Reasoning Definition of Models and System Requirements Wp2

18. Methods and Tools Action selector agent structure: Domain representation -> focused on organizational emergency structure, management resources and physical layout; Preference System -> the agent goal is to choice the best recovery actions and procedures on the basis of evaluation results; Knowledge System -> is composed by an action selector and an action executor. The action selector could be supported by a a Rule Based processing. Definition of Models and System Requirements Wp2

19. Specification of EIDA ToolKit Kernel Wp3 Wp3 Methods and Tools - Choose of adeguate final software environment. - Software functional Specification and Testing (for the different agents) using a Case Tool - Design a Protocol for Data exchange between the agents - Design the Users Interface architecture

20. Implementation and Validation of EIDA ToolKit Kernel Wp4 -Wp5 Wp4 -Wp5 Methods and Tools - Incremental implementation of the EIDA software Agents - Verification and Validation of the produced Kernel modules respect at least two different Users oriented prototypes. - Generalization of the produced ToolKit to support its utilization in other application of the same class
