will be crucial for further development of ENS, especially in terms of ENS reporting
module GUI and rules supporting RM. Moreover the service will be integrated with
the rest of INSIGMA system, as one of the sensors providing information about
accidents and emergency situations on the roads.
In case of research area we are planning to make parallel implementation
of the RM using other ontology processing tools, like e.g. CLIPS, which is a tool
for building expert systems. We expect better performance results than the one we
collected in our tests. After that we would be able to compare performance of these
two implementations with multiple clients invocations.
ENS has an authorization function incorporated with the SIP protocol, however
we are planning to develop a mechanism supporting confirmation of reported
events by authorized users.
VIII. Summary
The INSIGMA run-time ontology and the RM in ENS are used to infer knowledge
about threats related to traffic and accidents on the roads. This is an introductory
level to expert application on the basis of run-time ontology. It can be a support for
emergency centers’ operators and automate the process of calling appropriate public
safety services. When enhanced, it can also help to select appropriate equipment
of the vehicles. However application of services based on semantic engines must
be always tested against performance in target environment.
