description
The TRIDEC project (Collaborative, Complex, and Critical Decision Processes in Evolving Crises) focuses on real-time intelligent information management in the Earth management domain and its long-term applications. It is funded under the European Union’s seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The TRIDEC software framework is applied in two application environments, which include industrial subsurface drilling (ISD) and natural crisis management (NCM). For each domain, three consecutive demonstrators with extended capabilities are developed and field-tested during the projects lifespan. This article focuses on the technical advances achieved by the light-, mid- and heavyweight NCM demonstrators for Tsunami Early Warning.

Collaborative, Complex, and Critical Decision Processes in Evolving Crises
•TRIDEC is a IT Research Project in the European Union’s Framework Programme (FP7)
•New approaches and technologies for intelligent information management in collaborative, complex and critical decision processes in earth management.
•This presentation focuses on the architecture developed for natural crisis management (NCM) and the light-, mid- and heavyweight demonstrators for Tsunami Early Warning.

Tsunami Early Warning Systems (TEWS)
TEWS are distributed software and hardware systems supporting
– reliable detection of imminent tsunami hazards, – rapid situation assessment, and the – targeted dissemination of customised warning messages.
TEWS infrastructures consist of •national (National Tsunami Warning Centre: NTWC); and
•regional warning centres (Regional Tsunami Watch Centre:RTWC).

ICT Research and Development Strategy
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) view of Tsunami Early Warning Systems:
•integrated software- and hardware systems for
•data acquisition,
•decision making and
•information dissemination, which
•support the detection and analyses of imminent hazards and the dissemination of customised related warnings.

TRIDEC Architecture Overview
• The generic TRIDEC architecture describes a common layout for the sub-systems of a System of Systems to interact via a communication infrastructure.
• A communication infrastructure based on a Message-oriented middleware (MOM) enables distributed applications and distributed systems in heterogeneous environments to communicate by message exchange. Red triangles: SoS sub-systems with their own
data.

Remaining Work
• Extension of the System-of-Systems character (federation of distributed components, international communication of systems)
• Integrate non-traditional tsunami signal detection approaches
• Leverage intelligent information management

The road ahead / ICT Megatrends
•Ubiquitous sensing,
•integration of Earth Observation (EO) systems,
•volunteered geographic information (VGI), and
•cloud computing
However, for any kind of early warning system, it will be critical to prove that the range of functions can also be reliably offered as cloud-based software services.

Conclusion
• Information and communication technology (ICT) has become the driving factor for Tsunami Early Warning Systems (TEWS).
• IT concepts such as service-based architecture (SOA), system of systems (SoS), middleware and semantic services enable standards-based software infrastructures for national and regional TEWS.
• The TRIDEC software framework is used for local TEWS instances in the North East Atlantic / Mediterranean (NEAM) region to be connected in a system of systems.
