About OSS Nokalva • Software company based in Somerset, NJ (founded in 1988) • Main current product lines: • ASN.1 tools (compilers, encoder/decoders, utilities) • Biometric tools (middleware components, CTS) • Commitment to open standards • Actively involved in standardization in multiple areas: • ASN.1 (JTC 1/SC 6, ITU-T SG 17) • Biometrics (INCITS M1, JTC 1/SC 37) • Emergency management (OASIS EM TC – Alessandro is one of the editors of the EDXL-RM specification) • Geospatial (Open Geospatial Consortium)
ERMS Prototype • OSS Nokalva is developing a prototype of an Emergency Resource Management System(ERMS) • An implementation of the OASIS EDXL-RM specification (more information on next slide) • Most of this presentation consists of a sequence of screenshots from the current (early!) version of the prototype • We invite your feedback to extend and improve the ERMS prototype
ERMS Prototype Characteristics • It is a Web application (even local users will use a Web browser to access the PC where the application runs) • Concepts and data model inspired by the OASIS EDXL-RM specification • Sends and receives EDXL-RM messages • Can play the role of resource supplieror resource consumer(or both) • as a supplier, it manages a database of owned resources (including their assignment to consumers), and exchanges EDXL-RM messages with one or more consumers • as a consumer, it manages a database ofresource needs andborrowed resources, and exchanges EDXL-RM messages with one or more suppliers • Implements the OASIS EDXL-DE standard (each EDXL-RM message is carried within an EDXL-DE message) • Supports the NIMS Resource Typing system (120 resource definitions, over 370 resource types)
Sample Screen Sequence • The next slides show a sample sequence of screenshots captured from the ERMS prototype, simulating the following scenario: • The resource supplier is San Jose Water Company Emergency Operations Center • The resource consumer is City of Cupertino Emergency Operations Center • Water leaks have been found at Cupertino city hall; a water repair crew is needed and will be ordered from San Jose Water Company • Two instances of the ERMS prototype were running, one playing the role of supplier and the other playing the role of consumer
