Abstract
The emergency instances which are obtained, for example from a dedicated IoT network, are first processed and converted into sets of tasks for aid activities.
Second, the required resources are determined. If the scheduling of tasks over the available resources is not possible without exceeding the deadlines, various prioritization and/or trade-off strategies are applied. To facilitate flexibility, the architecture is designed as an open system where new strategies can be introduced if necessary. As a case study, emergencies caused by earthquakes are studied. To the best of our knowledge, there has not been a significant publication on an architectural approach for automated scheduling of tasks and resolving conflicts in earthquake management.
