Integrated Response Services Consortium (IRSC)

Loosely CoupledEmergency Services in a Service Oriented Architecture:

Building the Virtual Cyberinfrastructure

Demonstrations and Presentations of

Emergency Response Scenarios based on

2006 Golden Guardian & 2008 Silver Sentinel Exercises

What is IRSC?

Currently Informal Association Lack of Formality Mirrors Concept of Loosely Coupled SOA May or Might Not Incorporate Focused on Pioneering & Performance

Mix of Mostly Small, Agile Companies Mix of Profit-Non-Profit Use of Open Standards for Interoperability Focus: Integration on a Practical Basis

Exercises, Presentations and Demonstrations

Focus on Integration

Integration takes Interoperability the Next Step: Practice Integration Needs Two Factors:

Open Standards Make Interoperability Possible OASIS CAP, EDXL-DE, EDXL-RM, EDXL-HAVE, SOA Reference Model &

Reference Architecture, ebXML Registry-Repository, CIQ, oBIX Open Geospatial Consortium ‘geo-oasis’ Profile of GML, SensorML,

CityGML, etc X3D, GeoX3D, BIM, NBIMS

Practice Teaches us What we Need to Know to Use Open Standards & Provide Feedback to Improve Open Standards

DMIS Open Platform for Emergency Networks (OPEN) SourceForge Projects: OPEN EDXL CAP DE, IOSA-EDXL-RM

Focus on Integration

Working on Exercises Puts us on the Road to Improvement Step after Next Step: Practice, Practice, Practice

Roll out the Modeling and Simulation Exercise Control System from the Bottom Up

Practice till it Works in Local Groups of Jurisdictions, then Replicate in more localities, then Move Up to States

Emergency Data Exchange Language Specifications Enable Interoperability Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM) Hospital Availability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE)

Open Source EDXL-RM Goals

Sample Implementation Aimed at Developers forAdaptation to Customized Installations

Provide all Required and Most Optional Elements Provide Minimum Database with Companion DB Management

Application Provide Basis for Jurisdictions to Understand Basic EDXL Concepts

of Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) with Content Payloads such as EDXL-RM and EDXL-HAVE

Provide Basis for Combining Geospatial Applications with EDXL-RM Provide Basis for Developing Graphical Interface that doesn’t Require

Operators to Spend Time Keyboarding Inputs During Exercises and Actual Incidents
