Abstract

In order for decision-makers to effectively handle the complexity of the multi-jurisdiction issues, automation tools must be provided that can operate effectively in a multi-jurisdictional environment. Decision support systems that span multiple users, agencies, and jurisdictions should provide users with the information needed to make decisions and the ability to disseminate those decisions. To do so, such systems need the capability to 1) control the ownership of information, 2) control how information is shared, 3) display highly dynamic geographic information from multiple jurisdictions, 4) disseminate dynamic status information between jurisdictions, and 5) notify appropriate users across jurisdictions of changes to decisions and information
