Abstract :
The public safety software industry is extremely fragmented; there are several hundred different dispatch systems alone in use in the United States today. All of these systems perform nearly identical functions from a user´s perspective, but they all implement these functions and store the resulting data in their own fashion. This paper will examine a technique for sharing data between such systems for coordinated response to an emergency scenario or everyday events.
