Abstract:
Many emergency response organizations use public forums and social media to
collect useful information that might help in crises and other crucial events. Many disadvantages
related to accuracy and control arise from using those kinds of sources as the ER organizations do
not have full control over the posted information or the vocabulary used. This paper introduces a
new system called Trusted Event Management Network (TEMN) that aims to solve the problems
associated with the collected and extracted information from the social webs. The components of
TEMN interact with each other in such a way that the collected information is classified properly
and automatically delivered to the appropriate ER organization. A new concept related to the
reliability of the collected information, called ?Level of Trust? is introduced in the system which is
a judgment tool used in the introduced system to judge how trusted the received information is.
This concept has been developed in a way that makes it possible to be used in different kinds of
applications, such as crises management, social web, etc. The proposed system maintains the LoT
values updated. A GPS locater to provide the emergency response organization with the location
of the crises is a major component of the proposed system, along with a GPS tracker to overcome
the problem of traffic and traffic lights. TEMN as a proposed system has proved to be able to
process all received messages, filter the received flow and relate it to the concerned ER agencies.
Overall, the achieved results of the system are promising. Copyright ? 2016 Praise Worthy Prize
