Abstract

The management of resources is a great challenge for commanders in Search and Rescue operations and has a strong impact on all areas of operation control, as command-and-communication structure, geo-referenced information, and operational tasks are interconnected with complex relations. During an operation these are subject to dynamic changes. For an efficient operation control commanders need access to up-to-date information in their mobile working environment. This paper presents a new approach to manage resources and their relations in an operation. It is based on ontologies to build a model of an operation and Description Logic reasoning to provide enhanced decision support.
