Abstract

The research addresses the problem of exploitation of smart space’s facilities for the organization of resources of a smart space into an emergency response community. The members of such a community and people involved in emergency are enabled to use Web-based interface for their communications and making decisions, i.e. they organise a Web-based community. The paper proposes a framework that incorporates concepts of smart space, Web-based communities, and Web-services. The framework replaces real-world resources of the smart space with their service-based representations. As a result of this replacement, the emergency response community comprises Web-services representing resources providing emergency response services. Service-oriented architecture serves to coordinate interactions of the Web-services the framework deals with. The applicability of the proposed framework is demonstrated by a simulated case study on organization of a fire response community.
