C2-SENSE Interoperability Profiles for Command/Control Systems and Sensors Systems in Emergency Management

Context  Collaborative capability project  Scope: provide mechanisms for interoperability between command & control and sensors  Market focus: civil security, civil protection, emergency management and day-to-day monitoring  Application: large range of services

Objectives  Propose an interoperability framework for heterogeneous networks composed of sensors and control centres via protocol profiles for crisis management and a service oriented architecture  Demonstrate the framework concept  Propose standards (for the interoperability and interoperability certification methodology)  Case study and prototyping: application to crisis management and sensor networks of Apulia region in Italy

Emergency Interoperability Framework  Emergency Domain Inventory: created by surveying existing standards, real life use cases of sensors, devices, C2 systems, and emergency management, architecture for different scenarios.  Emergency Domain Ontology: common, modular, and focused ontology with all stakeholders’ knowledge in a unique, flexible data model; development of mechanisms for interoperability of different standards in the emergency domain; based on well-accepted and commonly used standards in emergency management, command and control, and sensor domains.  Emergency Interoperability Profiles: enable effective exchange of information among different rescue units, public safety units and information systems without requiring any special technical a priori arrangements; functional and operational requirements as well as cultural, linguistic, and legal issues. 20.01.2016 8

Standardization In the scope of C2-SENSE, with the Emergency Interoperability Profiles being the standard artifacts, necessary standardization activities will be initiated to evolve C2-SENSE Emergency Interoperability Framework into a standard specification for interoperability between Sensor Systems and C2 Systems , with the aim of helping the development of a European market in this field. C2-SENSE is an ambitious project but the infrastructure to be developed will be based on open source software and existing standards . This will facilitate the development efforts and will help easily identify gaps, where new technological solutions, guidelines, recommendations or standards are needed, at each level of the interoperability stack . 20.01.2016 10

Knowledge Interoperability  Common operational picture of the crisis situation and the support of collaboration for joint decision making  Emergency Profile Definition Language  Development of Knowledge Interoperability Profiles with tools such as:  Collaboration Environment • Emergency Maps Tool • Sensor Management Tool • Messaging/Communication Platform • Registry of Emergency Web Services • Profile Repository, Monitoring and Definition Tool  GIS Server 20.01.2016 12

Data/Object Model, Information, and Knowledge Layers  Data/Object Model Layer:  HL7, XML, Web Services  KML Processing: Java API for KML, PythonKML  GML Processing: GML Parser for Java, GML4J, AppForMap  OGC SWE Implementation: Java API for OGC SWE, OGC Utils  NewsML Processing: NewsML Toolkit  Information Layer:  OWL-DL Reasoner: Jena, Pellet  OWL Parsing: Jena OWL Parser, OWL API, Python OWL  Knowledge Layer:  GIS Server : GeoServer, MapServer  Mash-up: Open Layers  Collaboration Tool 20.01.2016 13

Emergency Interoperability Profiles Template  Initial activities  Control structure  Data flow structure  Resources  Objective: Managing a crisis situation to prevent chaotic responses  In the event of a crisis, the appropriate scenario is selected and customized to specific organizations and specific incidents  Aligned procedures and operations  Harmonization of procedures and operations supported through service level agreements 20.01.2016 14
