Event Symposium 3March 15, 2006

The Problem Increased safety

– Provide first-aid and critical data to support first responders and decision makers so they are equipped to make appropriate and timely decisions necessary for the safety, security and protection of people, physical assets and the environment during an emergency situation involving a hazardous material.

– Ensure chemical is placed in appropriate and safe location such that there is no adverse reaction to other chemicals.

– Notifications sent when chemical is moved by unauthorized person Increased security

– Manage hazardous material/waste tracking, producing real-time end-to-end visibility

– Determine authorization and training of employee carrying chemical– Determine approved location of chemical storage– Protection and security for all transactions captured via RFID tracking– Strong audit capabilities– Mobile and wireless capabilities

Overall goal:– Deployment planning based on Security/Safety Exception Analysis– Capturing of every move for full accounting of every action– Capturing of state at any moment for full supervision – not yet done completely

NASA – ChemSecureACCOMPLISHMENTS

• Track & Trace environmentally hazardous chemicals

• Leverage existing sensor based technologies• Enhance NASA Dryden Business Practices• Provide automatic Alerts and Notifications • Identifies, integrates and deploys strategies to

• critical incident responders• emergency first responders• law enforcement• medical personnel• fire professionals

• Provides technology solution for management detection

• Non -events

BENEFITS

Increased Safety• Provides first-aid and critical data to first

responders and decision makers • Ensures Chemicals are placed in appropriate

and safe locations • Increase security• Person and chemical are scanned and verified

thus reducing theft, error, and fraud

Increased Security• Manages hazardous material/waste tracking• Determines authorization and training of

employee • Protection and Security for all transactions

captured via RFID tracking• Strong Audit Capabilities • Mobile and Wireless notifications

Information sharing

‘Event’ Bus

High cost of data acquisition dictates to acquire only as much data as minimally needed

Bus acts only a message system

Application required to fully understand the physical world based on sensor readings

Process - Applications Information sharing

Low cost of data acquisition allows to capture ‘everything’

Active Sensor Archive ‘virtualizes’ physical world – applications will be isolated from acquisition details

Active Archive will remember ‘everything’

Archive will provide context – through topology

Active Archive will activate/call applications immediately based on the applications’ needs/requests
