An architecture for integrated crisis management simulation

CRISMA project (www.crismaproject.eu ) is a European Union funded project focusing on the simulation of multi-sectoral large scale crisis scen arios that have multi-dimensional effects on society and people. The project aims at the development of a framework to build use case speci fic tools which will allow decision-makers to cross-examine dyna mic crisis scenario evolutions, to set action parameters of operational and strategic activities, and to visualise impacts and cris is evolvement. This will be achieved by providing a modular and open software framewor k to build planning an d decision support systems for modelling and simulating realistic crisis scenarios and their possible consequences.
