| Abstract: Catastrophic events triggered or augmented by
regional conflicts, climate change and new disease strains
appear to be increasing in intensity and frequency.
Preparation, response and recovery are essential to survive
the new wave of large-scale disasters; unfortunately
however, the heterogeneous set of institutions and
organisations responsible for delivering emergency
response services often fail to rise up to the task, with the
lack of proper collaboration featuring as a main culprit.
Previous research and applications have advocated for and
presented a holistic and integrated approach to improve
interoperability seen as an essential component of
collaboration. In this position paper, we aim to contribute
to advancing that research by providing a novel
perspective to interoperability issues, that takes into
account the advent of Internet technology feeding the
emergence of the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), enabling the
different artefacts to sense, process, share and act in an
ubiquitous, Internet-like environment. Thus, we
investigate the potential application of a novel IoT-aware
‘interoperability as a property’ (IaaP) paradigm in order
to provide a sound state-of-the-art platform for efficient
preparation by disaster management organisations and
agile, adaptive response delivered by synergic task force
and rescue teams. |
