e-Response Vision
The creation and use of task-centric virtual organisations involving people, government and non-governmental organisations, automated systems, grid and web services working alongside intelligent robotic, vehicle, building and environmental systems to respond to very dynamic events on scales from local to global.
Multi-level emergency response and aid systems Personal, vehicle, home, organisation, district, regional, national,
international Backbone for progressively more comprehensive aid and emergency
response Also used for aid-orientated commercial services Robust, secure, resilient, distributed system of systems Advanced knowledge and collaboration technologies Low cost, pervasive sensors, computing and comms. Changes in building codes, regulations and practices

e-Response Relevant Technologies
Sensors and Information Gathering• sensor facilities, large-scale sensor grids• human and photographic intelligence gathering• information and knowledge validation and error reduction• semantic web and meta-knowledge• simulation and prediction• data interpretation• identification of "need"
Emergency Response Capabilities and Availability• robust multi-modal communications• matching needs, brokering and "trading" systems• agent technology for enactment, monitoring and control
Hierarchical, distributed, large scale systems• local versus centralized decision making and control• mobile and survivable systems• human and automated adjustable autonomy mixed-initiative decision making• mixed-initiative, multi-agent planning and control• trust, security
Common Operating Methods• shared information and knowledge bases• Shared standards and interlingua• shared human scale self help web sites and collaboration aids• shared standard operating procedures at levels from local to international• standards for signs, warnings, etc.
Public Education• publicity materials• self help aids• public training
