Abstract
Information integration processes utilized in a context-aware decision support system for emergency response are considered. The system supports decision making by providing fused outputs of different sources. The chapter demonstrates advantages of ontology-based context to integrate information and to generate useful decisions. A case study concerning a fire response scenario illustrates the system operation. This study focuses on planning fire response actions and evacuation of people in danger using the ride-sharing technology.
