Coupling Case Based Reasoning and Process Mining for a Web Based Crisis Management Decision Support System

This paper presents a research in progress that aims to design and develop a web-based shared environment for stakeholders involved in disaster management. The goal of this environment is two-fold. Firstly it will provide a reliable disaster information source to facilitate the exchange and the analysis of previous crisis information. Secondly, it will assimilate best practices and provide recommendations based on experiences from previous disasters. One of the first steps towards such an environment is to elaborate a common and generic disaster model. This model is also a reference to define a template for the case base of previous disasters. In order for our system to provide recommendations based on previous practices, we combine case based reasoning with process mining. This article presents the first step towards a disaster management decision support system, specifically providing guidance on how to integrate process mining in the case based reasoning cycle.
