2014

Abstract

The paper discusses knowledge fusion processes with reference to context-aware decision support. It extends the previous research work on context-based knowledge fusion patterns. The contribution of this paper is service-oriented implementation of the context-aware decision support system for emergency management. This system was used in the previous work as the basis for revealing the knowledge fusion patterns. The presentation is accompanied by examples from a fire response scenario.
