An Event-Driven Platform for Agility Management of Crisis Response

2. Mise Approach Overview

Considering these points, we aim at designing and producing a Mediation Information System (MIS) to support interoperability among partners and to keep the response workflows relevant to the crisis situation, through the Mediation Information System Engineering 2.0 (MISE 2.0) project. This part of this research work is presented in “MISE Design Time” and “MISE Run Time” sections. The first version of the MIS prototype (result of the MISE 1.0 project) was successfully used in the French funded project ISyCri (ISyCri stands for Interoperability of Systems in Crisis situation), whose one objective was to design an IS for several partners who have to solve, or at least to reduce, a crisis into which they are involved.

Another point to deal with during the response phase is the evolutionary character of a crisis situation. Due to this fact, the system shall remain compliant with the possibly changing requirements of the situation. This implies to measure the efficiency of the response, to be able to take into account the changes of the crisis itself or in the crisis cell (i.e. the events happening in the studied ecosystem). In a few words, a continuous response to the crisis is needed.
