Developing situation-aware applications for disaster management with a distributed rule-based platform

In order to enhance interoperability and productivity in the develop-ment of situation-aware applications for disaster management, proper mecha-nisms and guidelines are required. They must address the lack of semantics in modelling emergency situations. In addition, the ever changing and unpredicta-ble nature of disaster scenarios present challenges for information processing and collaboration. This paper proposes a framework that combines the follow-ing elements: (i) a foundational ontology for temporal conceptualization; (ii) well-founded specifications of structural and behavioral models; (iii) a CEP en-gine based on a distributed rule-based platform for situation management; (iv) a model-driven approach. We illustrate the operation of the framework with a scenario for monitoring tuberculosis epidemy

Modelling Case-Based Reasoning in Situation-Aware Disaster Management

Situation-aware disaster management (SADIM) is a continuous decision-making and action taking process. This process requires prior knowledge of the ongoing environment and context. SADIM comprises two major processes: situation awareness (SA) - a cognitive process that assesses current situations and anticipate future situations in the environment; and, disaster management (DM) which is a decision-making process preventing, preparing, responding, and recovering for and from a disaster. One of the decision-making technologies used in current SADIM is case-based reasoning (CBR) CBR is used for the disaster management element only. Situation awareness process in current SADIM is carried out using domain rules, statistical reasoning and other methods. This paper therefore presents a method of using CBR to carry out both situation assessment and disaster management decision-making processes in SADIM, building on previous work focusing in SA alone. Using CBR for both processes provides the capability of using past experiences to understand the state of the environment and also solve specific disaster problems. The paper evaluates the method through implementation in disaster prevention in the petroleum drilling domain for early kick detection to prevent a blowout disaster. The results show a clear improvement in similarity assessment and problem solving prediction to prevent blowout

PERMODELAN PENGETAHUAN KESIAPAN PENANGANAN BENCANA DI RUMAH SAKIT

Bencana alam adalah peristiwa yang umumnya membawa dampak negatif. Indonesia adalah salah satu negara rawan bencana. Rumah sakit merupakan tempat rujukan pertama saat korban bencana membutuhkan perawatan. Pada dasarnya, berbagai studi yang menghasilkan pengetahuan sudah cukup banyak tersedia. Namun untuk penggunaannya pada bencana alam belum dikelola dan diterapkan dengan baik. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka kami akan membangun medel pengetahuan kesiapan penanganan bencana di rumah sakit. Penelitian ini mengembangkan sebuah model pengetahuan berbasis ontologi untuk kesiapan rumah sakit pada penanganan bencana berdasarkan konsep tenaga kesehatan, institusi terkait, rencana darurat, dan alat. Proses permodelan ontologi pada penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga fase yaitu Konseptualisasi, Implemetasi dan Evaluasi. Pembangunan ontologi didasarkan dari hasil kuisioner yang telah diisi oleh pengurus TIM Bencana dari tiga rumah sakit di Jawa Tengah. Hasil yang didapatkan dari pengukuran ontologi yang dibuat untuk Relationship Richness sebesar 0.68, Inheritance Richness sebesar 0.18, dan Attribute Richness sebesar 0.04. Sedangkan hasil pengujian query yang dilakukan menggunakan DL Query Panel adalah sistem dengan kemapuan memberi sebuah jawaban dari gabungan ekspresi Class, object property untuk mendapatkan instancedari data Individual
