A Tool for Assessing Quality of Rescue Plans by Combining Visualizations of Different Business Process Perspectives
Résumé
Rescue plans for crisis situations such as natural or man made disasters are mostly presented in a textual format by the relevant authority. Assessing the quality of a rescue plan requires analyzing different perspectives, such as plan complexity, resources costs, service time, allocation strategy and organization efficiency. Unfortunately, textual rescue plans lack a formal structure to ease the navigation through the document. To address this problem we are composing tailored visualizations, each visualization represents a particular perspective. We provide a domain specific language to describe domain specific visualizations of processes. We validate our approach using static and dynamic analysis of the Ho Chi Minh city rescue plan in case of tsunami. Our approach provides recommendations useful for the authority to improve the original rescue plan.
