Towards a Multiagent Decision Support System for crisis Management

TL;DR

This paper proposes a flexible multiagent decision support system architecture for crisis management, capable of perceiving and reflecting evolving emergency situations to aid in prevention and response.

Contribution

It introduces a novel multiagent system architecture and information modeling tailored for dynamic crisis management environments.

Findings

The system effectively perceives crisis evolution in simulated scenarios.

The architecture demonstrates adaptability to unpredictable emergency situations.

Preliminary experiments validate the approach's potential for real-time crisis management.

Abstract

Crisis management is a complex problem raised by the scientific community currently. Decision support systems are a suitable solution for such issues, they are indeed able to help emergency managers to prevent and to manage crisis in emergency situations. However, they should be enough flexible and adaptive in order to be reliable to solve complex problems that are plunged in dynamic and unpredictable environments. The approach we propose in this paper addresses this challenge. We expose here a modelling of information for an emergency environment and an architecture of a multiagent decision support system that deals with these information in order to prevent and to manage the occur of a crisis in emergency situations. We focus on the first level of the system mechanism which intends to perceive and to reflect the evolution of the current situation. The general approach and experimentations are provided here.
