is subject to uncertainty. This process is sufficiently complicated that it
requires substantial knowledge, information support and multi-subject collaboration.
Based on system science theory, the study analyzed the characteristics of emergency
decision-making during catastrophes and discussed the internal architecture
of the resulting system for the development of an emergency plan. In addition,
the study combined general intelligent planning with an advanced knowledge-engineering
approach. Furthermore, the hierarchical collaborative feature of the emergency
plan was based on an ontology emergency knowledgebase. Moreover, this study
defined ontology notations for general emergency planning based on the emergency
domain and plan ontologies. In conclusion, the study provides a basic framework
for multi-layer, multi-subject and multi-task emergency planning during catastrophes.]]>Asuncion, M., L. Castillo and J. Fdez-Olivares,200518257268Castillo, L., J. Fdez-Olivares, O.
