Abstract
In recent years, Emergency Management has become the target of multiple research efforts. This domain is characterized by collaborative aspects and several researchers discuss the use of mobile applications to complement traditional forms of information sharing. However, there is little software reuse in proposed solutions, as very few projects have focused on developing reusable components. Reusing components is desirable for it harnesses the strengths of existing systems, speeds up development and increases system reliability. In this paper, we present a framework to support software reuse in mobile systems development, based on specifications from the emergency domain. It provides guidance for the construction of new systems and simplifies their development, as required by the developers.
