Integrated web-based incident management solution
Ryan Moquin, Snowflake Software |
|
| This presentation will outline BAE Systems experience in the development of an integrated web-based incident management solution. The solution couples together various COTS and OpenSource components to provide overall situational awareness. At the core of this solution is an extensible SOA infrastructure that consumes trusted information sources and couples them with business processes through jBPM. User interaction occurs through a web-based portal framework that provides role based access to information and geospatial displays. |

Keeping the Winter Roads Open with Web Delivered Forecasts
Eddie Curtis, Snowflake Software |
| The Route Based Forecasting pilot from the UK Met Office allows highways’ authorities to respond to continuously changing weather conditions to keep Britain’s roads safe and open during winter weather. The service delivers up to date, high-resolution forecasts of road conditions to a web deployed application through OGC compliant web services thus allowing highways’ authorities to dispatch gritting trucks or snow ploughs to the routes where they are needed. |

Providing Next Generation Emergency Response
Randy Frantz, ESRI |
| The next generation emergency systems will require a complete rethinking of how we define and respond to emergency situations. Organizations such as NENA, ITU and major equipment suppliers are already evaluating new geospatially enabled systems that provide improved capabilities and faster response times. These systems focus on three major areas: maintaining and restoring the communication infrastructure; providing immediate and automatic situational information; and providing location to emergency responders, even for mobile or VoIP calls. |

Transiting the Analogue/Digital Divide: Needs from the Emergency Response Community
Talbot J. Brooks, Delta State University |
| Advents in the application of geospatial technologies for emergency response put a plethora of information at the fingertips of those departments than can afford them. Yet a digital/analogue divide is present and growing between such entities and those without the funding or technical support needed. This presentation will provide an overview of the steps needed to close this gap and help bring emergency responders forward as community using standardized and interoperable products |
