Dynamic emergency management

Dynamic Emergency Management — Real-Time Expert System (RTXPS)... 

Real-Time Expert System (RTXPS) is a system designed for on-site dynamic emergency management in the case of technological and environmental hazards, including early warning for events such as toxic or oil spills, floods, and tsunamis.

Such a risk management framework should be in place prior to the initiation of closure activities and should be a dynamic process. The constituent risk models should be updated as new information becomes available and should be responsive to changing and emerging hazards. 

This dynamic modelling approach looks at the subtle interaction between treatment protocols and processes. From that, new protocols can emerge. Wellness management responds to the need to reduce costs and improve quality. 

This is in line with the proposition of Schmidtlein et al. (2008) that there is a need to integrate social science research concerning social vulnerability into emergency and risk decision management. It was our argument in this paper that this integration has to take into account the role of scale and the dynamics of the territories at different levels of analysis. 

The research community has responded to the E-Business challenge. Despite the infamous dot-com bust in the early 2000 s, scores of research initiatives, workshops, technical papers, and special journal issues have been devoted to the subject. E-Business remains a critical subject not only in the research community, but also in corporate boardrooms. Instead of the revolution that would replace every facet of business, the rise of E-Business might be viewed as the emergence of new economic intermediaries that offer opportunities for innovation. These new intermediaries offer different means to respond to market demands (e.g., Internet vs. traditional channels), to facilitate sourcing, procurement, and price discovery (e.g., electronic auctions), and to develop new mechanisms for coordination and execution (e.g., dynamic pricing, revenue management, and collaborative forecasting).
