Abstract
The best management of a disaster requires knowledge, skills and other resources not only for relief and rehabilitation but also for recovery and mitigation of its effects. These multifaceted goals cannot be achieved by a single organization and require collaborative efforts in an agile manner. Blind trust cannot be applied while selecting collaborators/team members/partners therefore good reputation of a collaborator is mandatory. Currently, various Information and Communication Technology based artifacts, for collaborative disaster management, have been developed; however, they do not employ trust and reputation as their key factor. In this paper, a framework of reputation based trust management system is proposed for the support of disaster management. The key features of framework are Meta model, Reputation Indicator Matrix and Computational algorithm, deployed using Service Oriented Architecture. To evaluate the efficacy of the artifact, a prototype is implemented. Furthermore, an industrial survey is carried out to get the feedback on the proposed framework. The results support that the proposed reputation management system provides significant support in collaborative disaster management by assisting in agile and smart decision making in all phases of disaster management cycle.
Highlights
Trust is such an investment in a society that returns strong and peaceful society whereas reputation is an asset that makes social interactions smooth and comfortable
This research presents a substantial base for reputation management of collaborators involved in disaster management
The multi-criteria of the proposed framework illustrate the priorities of disaster management’s stakeholders. These are the characteristics that are expected to be present in the collaborators help in establishing the reputation of the collaborators
Summary
Trust is such an investment in a society that returns strong and peaceful society whereas reputation is an asset that makes social interactions smooth and comfortable. The stakeholders involved in such situations focus on the cohesive and collaborative efforts. These collaborative efforts demand sharing of skills, knowledge and other financial resources. The focal point of VO is doing tasks and projects together by making collaboration among a number of entities, and ensuring agility [1]. It is a successful experiment for accomplishing the required goals by making a temporary alliance of partners [2] and the reason of its success is the opportunity of cohesive and collaborative efforts, it provides
