The unpredictability in crisis situations and the time to respond during emergencies require the development of toolkit support for modeling approaches that produce models of information processing views within a very short time interval. The present approach to designing such systems is based on the traditional modeling practice of starting from scratch to arrive at a solution. Based on the observations of shortcomings in crisis response and recovery coordination systems developed at a main European harbor, a framework for emergent modeling is presented in this paper. Emergent modeling is an approach to model coordination structures for unpredictable emergency response coordination work. The emergent modeling relies on the concept of model evolution through reusing available models and model patterns. An assessment is made to explore the extent to which MetaCASE and model suites are available and to what extent they are appropriate to fulfill those requirements of emergent modeling toolkit support.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-16385-2_17
