Abstract

The rescue operations for emergency events usually require multiple emergency departments to cooperate with each other to provide effective and efficient resource allocation plans within a short time limit and dynamically adjust the plans as necessary. In the paper, an agent-based resource allocation approach is proposed to automatically allocate rescue resources to concurrent emergency events by the consideration of dynamic changes in terms of event variation, task variation and resource execution variation.
