Multi-Agent Decision Support System for Disaster Response and Evacuation

  • Conference paper
Monitoring, Security, and Rescue Techniques in Multiagent Systems

Part of the book series: Advances in Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 28))

Summary

The paper describes an agent-based approach and its application to intelligent support of disaster response and evacuation operations. The approach is based on the idea of knowledge logistics which stands for integration and transfer of the right knowledge from distributed sources to the right person within the right context at the right time to the right purpose. The problem in the approach is represented as configuring a network of knowledge sources and approach is called “KSNet-approach”. The paper concentrates on such aspects as multiagent architecture, knowledge representation formalism and presents an application of the approach via a case study.
