Intelligent decision support for Marine safety and Security Operations

The architecture and core mechanisms of a decision support system for a Marine Security Operations Centre (MSOC) are presented. The goal of this system is to improve coordination in emergency response services during critical situations, including detection and prevention of illegal activities. The system design emphasizes robustness and scalability through its decentralized control structure, automated planning and replanning, dynamic resource configuration management and task execution management under uncertainty. An example scenario from the marine operations domain is described.
