WORKPAD
From Autocompwiki
Contribution of Autocomp team to EU IST FP6 WORKPAD Project at Distributed Systems Group, TU Vienna
The objective of WORKPAD is to build an adaptive P2P (Peer-to-Peer) infrastructure for supporting collaborative work in emergency/disaster scenarios.
The key to the success of responses to disaster is to have effective response processes which are actually established on-demand and changed rapidly, depending on the context of the disaster. Such effective response processes cannot be achieved without understanding the context related to entities inherent in the disaster. Furthermore, processes defined during disaster response are established based on various kinds of human interactions in disaster scenarios. These interactions must be studied and optimized because humans, not technologies, play the key role in disaster responses. While context information is important for defining processes conducted during the disaster response, these processes are established by humans based on existing information available at disaster scenarios. There is no doubt that errors and/or mistakes could be introduced in such establishments, considering the time-constrained aspect. In addition, there are questions concerning whether the tasks planned are optimal or not or if there are some frequent patterns, such as work delay and failure, occurred and associated with some existing members that subsequently affects the performance of the whole response process.
Autocomp team will focus on addressing the above-mentioned questions by working on context management and process mining support for adaptive process management and decision making.
