Distributed information acquisition and decision-making for environmental management (Diadem)

The Prime Objective of the Diadem project is to create an ICT system supporting collaborative situation assessment and decision making for effective protection of the population and the environment against chemical hazards in industrial areas.

This is achieved by combining:

• Advanced gas detection and monitoring approaches supporting enhanced situation awareness.

• Methods and tools facilitating collaborative situation assessment and decision making involving many emergency management professionals.

• Human machine interfaces supporting efficient exploitation of human cognitive capabilities.

• A service oriented framework bridging the gap between information sources, general public, domain experts and decision makers from multiple, geographically distributed organizations.

Research area: ICT-2007.6.3 ICT for environmental management and energy efficiency.

The project is funded by the European Commission under  the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
