Modeling and simulation for training and support of emergency management teams:the development of CrisisKit
conference paper
Emergency management (EM), the decision making involved in directing the relief operation after a disaster or otherwise catastrophic accident is an issue of great public and private concern because of the high stakes involved. It is important to consider what can be done to optimize training and support of EM teams, both in terms of the structure of training and support, and the use of simulation technology. In terms of technology, there have been developments that would be worthwhile applying to the domain of EM, such as automated instructor and observer aids, and intelligent automated cognitive performance diagnosis. CrisisKit is introduced as an example of a simulated environment in which training and support are combined. We are currently exploring how the CrisisKit concept could be augmented with intelligent, synthetic, agents acting as team members and intelligent controllers, and which, on the basis of performance measurement, are able to flexibly adapt the scenarios to the current level of knowledge and skill of the team.
