Using UICDS to Share Data in the Real-Time Decision Support System for Pandemic Response

Abstract

This paper presents our experience using the Unified Incident Command Decision Support System (UICDS) middleware platform developed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to facilitate sharing data between our Real-Time Decision Support System (RTDSS) and third party data sources. We describe the basics of UICDS and further show how we integrated UICDS one of our projects.
