A heterogeneous information integration framework for emergency management

One of the biggest challenge in emergency management is how to deal with the incomplete, contradict and fuzzy information. This paper reviews related work and develop a framework for heterogeneous information integration in emergency management. A high-level data integration module in which heterogeneous data sources are integrated and presented in a uniform format is also described. Furthermore, we discussed the data preprocessing, privacy protection, data integration module and implementation for emergency management in detail. This information integration framework for emergency management will help the decision maker to find the satisfactory solutions, make the right decisions, and takes appropriate responses in a timely and efficient manner.
