Distributed autonomous GIS to form teams for public safety

Abstract

Public safety requires emergency response that is timely and efficient. This paper describes how to distribute the emergency call among those in the area so as to optimize their locations when called, and their expertise. The call will route to the next most qualified if those in the immediate vicinity cannot come. We describe the system architecture and provide the algorithmic rules, as well as sketch an interface and propose how the completed system could be evaluated.
