Modelling crisis management for improved action and preparedness

EU FP7 Project Goals:

Build a framework that allows easy implementation of concrete applications

Focus on preparedness, planning, training Decision support system by comparing different options

Has to embed a lot of models Pilot applications dealing with following hazards:

toxic gas, earthquake, forest fire, flooding, power outages because of bad Nordic weather

Worldstate: Describes the CRISMA-relevant state of the world at a certain

time stamp If something changes a new wordstate is created A series of timestamps describes a situation progress Different possible decisions are modelled as forks creating a

tree of worldstates: The decision tree

Main concepts

19/04/23 | 6


OOI Object Of Interest Anything that is relevant for the actual use case and can change

over time Ambulances Patients …

There is a management GUI to define OOIs and there properties

Ambulances maximum speed Patients health …

Main concepts

19/04/23 | 7


Models are used to calculate the consequences Of external events (e.g. earthquake) Of decisions (e.g. sending ambulances)

Model input are OOI and other data Model results create a single or a series of worldstates

Models are wrapped by WPS

Models

Indicators are used to get an overview of a situation Number of patients Time-Interval needed for rescue Structured data like number of patients grouped by health

status …

Indicators

19/04/23 | 9


Used for decision macking in a DSS Compare wordstates under the assumption of specific goals

Indicator (Key Performance Indicator, KPI) KPI: a single number (Length of a time interval, number of

collapsed buildings, ..) Criteria

Depending on a specific goal (Minimum recovery time, minimum recovery costs,..). Describes the importance of a single indicator value

Costs The weighted sum from the indicators. This result depends on

the goal

KPI and ICC

A central datastore / catalogue Knows about worldstates

Relations between worldstates Specific data stores Indicator and ICC data

Knows about models and indicator services Method to access them (e.g. WPS) Concrete access data (e.g. WPS endpoint URL)

REST / JSON interface

Different GUIs exists within CRISMA WireCloud

Web-Based Different generic widgets can be combined to create a

use-case specific GUI Extendable by adding use-case specific widgets

Traditional Web-GUI Use-case specific Can also include WireCloud widgets

Installed application Can also include WireCloud widgets

GUI

WireCloudCombine various widgets to an application

Modify widget size/position/name/ visibility

WireCloud: GUI

ICMM: Something between database and catalogue; holds WorldStates and (references to) data and services

OOI-WSR: Datastore for No-GIS data

Models: Any model behind an WPS. Uses / manipulates ICMM, OOI-WSR and other data

Indicators: Technically a model. Calculates indicator values for ICMM, OOI-WSR and maybe other data and stores them in ICMM

PubSub: Publish-Subscribe service (FI-WARE Orion) A WMS for background maps

Initial situation at project start: as in every international project. Each partner provides one or more services. These are used by other partners over the internet. The interfaces are essential: Common data model, REST and

JSON, OGC WPS,… Later demonstrations (e.g. project review in Brussels):

Internet to slow, not reliable Some partners are just updating something, so service is not

available and incompatible afterwards Pilot implementations and deployment:

Have dedicated service instances Have them locally – great for development, essential at

deployment time for security and policy reasons

CRISMA deployment

19/04/23 | 31


Each CRISMA Application consists of a set of services CRISMA-external services might also be used (e.g. background

maps from a public WMS) Typically services are distributed and accessed over the public

internet This even allows failover by the usage of alternative services if

a service is not available But in security sensitive and crisis management use cases the

usage of wide area networks is not permitted Security concerns Expected loss of

network connectivity

Initial Situation

CRISMA Applications need a lot of services

Example: Resource Management Training CRISMA services

ICMM OOI-WSR Agents Resource Model plus WPS BasicIndicators including WPS PubSub Service WireCloud Service for the GUI

External services Map-Data for background maps

It would be (sort of) simple to install a 19” rack

Unnecessary expensive Hardware Licenses Power consumption

Lot of systems needing permanent maintenance

One Server per Service?

19/04/23 | 34


Install all services on one machine Will work in some cases only – we actually did this for PilotEv1

But: Technical problem: Some services need specific and different

operating systems Logistical problem: Services are delivered by different partners

– messy integration, responsibilities become unclear

Some services might really need an own server for performance reasons

One Server to rule all Services?

19/04/23 | 35


Virtualization allows to install all services as virtual machines on one real, big machine

Lot of overhead – Each service needs a full operating system installed

Better resource utilization compared to individual servers but still unnecessary expensive

Big hardware needed Licenses

Lot of systems needing permanent maintenance Some services might really need an own server for performance

reasons

One Virtual Server per Service?

19/04/23 | 36


Containers are the newest hype when delivering services to the cloud (e.g. Docker)

Small Minimal overhead Much more lightweight than virtual machines in terms of size

and resources needed Very easy to build and deploy

And they can also be used in a local setup

But: Limited to some operating systems (Linux in the moment)

Containers?

19/04/23 | 37


Deliver services as containers where possible Limited to some operation systems Docker can be used

Deliver virtual machines where needed E.g. Windows-based services Vagrant can be used

Deliver dedicated server machines for services with extreme performance needs

E.g. earthquake simulation model

Combine solutions!

Deployment to a demonstration / customer machine is very easy Setup host machine with VM ESXi Copy VM images needed Deploy docker containers Configure the internal services: Nothing needed

All services communicate using the internal network, so no changes needed

Even the GUI works using the internal network only! Only network change is the external visible address.

This is handled by the FireWall VM (Apache virtual host config)

Only if there are external services used access needs to be configured

Deployment example: Easy

19/04/23 | 42


Adopt CRISMA to the users business case / problem domain Implement specific data models (ICMM, OOI-WSR) Implement new models or at least build an interface to existing

specific models (WPS) Implement indicators Implement user specific GUI components

Application development is more work .-)
