Scope of
Work
Within the EM community there exists a lack of definition regarding the validation,
selection and deployment of infrastructure-based facilities supporting
persistent interoperability across a broad range of applications. For
instance, what components and/or transport protocols support interoperability
today, and are they valid in the context of a national emergency management
system?
With
that in mind the EMIF � SC requests formal comments and suggestions from EM-TC
members, and specifically from its allied SC�s, in order to evolve baseline
recommendations, leading to a formal set of technological requirements, for EM
systems development and deployment.
Purpose
The sub-committee requests recommendations
in order to establish consensus regarding a strategic systemic framework,
capable of producing connectivity between EM systems regardless of operational
focus.
Examples of areas for recommendation
include, but will not be limited to;
�
Interface
Management
�
Data
Transport Protocols
�
Telecommunications
Protocols
�
Geo-spatial
Protocols
�
Alert
Notification and Messaging Protocols
CONCLUSION
Recommendations are
solicited on a �time is of the essence� basis. Responses should be directed to
