Abstract

The paper presents a uniform approach to computing and communication, which seems well-suited to dynamically handle information flows in an emergency management system and overcomes the drawbacks of layered architectures. The overall system is modelled as a computational graph consisting of components and connectors, which are recursively modelled as lower-level graphs. Micro-components, i.e., software modules which can be executed on a single computational node, are the basic building blocks. This paves the way to the design and implementation of adaptive systems where both introspective and domain information are treated in a uniform way to realize context-aware strategies supporting distributed computations and context-aware routing.
