Mapping the Information Flows for the Architecture of a Nationwide Situation Awareness System : (Poster)

A nation-level situation awareness (SA) system will facilitate the making of right decisions by serving the decision-makers with the information they need. In this paper, we show how the mapping of information flows between governmental institutions allows us to develop such a SA system and continuously improve it by optimizing the movements of information. To this end, we propose a systematization method for the various kinds of information flows, and explain how it helps to reduce their perceived heterogeneity.
