Abstract :
The paper describes the architecture of a distributed system to support crisis management. The system is designed to reduce the time required to make decisions, while maintaining decision quality. The design combines a number of technologies that have been proven useful in other applications, including computer supported idea generation, parallel processing, and data pipelining. In addition, the system provides a mechanism to filter information for use by an individual decision maker. It is expected that the system will improve the response to, recovery from, and mitigation of crises
