Standardisation of situational Awareness sYstems to Strengthen Operations in civil protection - Description of the mission of the Horizon 2020 SAYSO project, and introduction to the SAYSO network and community

SAYSO’s mission is to define the reference architecture and specifications for future innovative European cost‐effective and user‐friendly situational awareness tools that fulfil end-user requirements and can be used across different organisations, hierarchical levels and national borders. The future development of SAYSO-compliant Situational Awareness Systems for Multiple Stakeholders will allow Civil Protection practitioners to:

share information
analyse hazards and uncertainties
obtain a clear picture of the situation at hand with relevant advice

To achieve this mission, the SAYSO project will address the following areas

Requirements

SAYSO will gather requirements from practitioners on what a future Situational Awareness System for Multiple Stakeholders should look like. SAYSO will also analyse the current State-of-the-Art of existing Situational Awareness Systems.

Specifications & Reference Architecture

SAYSO will draw specifications for future Situational Awareness tools that fulfil end-user requirements and can be used by multiple stakeholders across national borders. SAYSO will also specify a Reference Architecture that is in compliance with legal requirements, handles organisational and technical heterogeneity, and is able to support interoperable and customisable Situational Awareness Systems for Multiple Stakeholders.

Roadmap

SAYSO will prepare a roadmap for the development of future Situational Awareness Systems for Multiple Stakeholders and the corresponding Reference Architecture.

Standardisation

SAYSO will provide input for future standardisation efforts in shared situational awareness.

Procurement

SAYSO will prepare future procurement actions for SAYSO‐compliant Situational Awareness Systems for Multiple Stakeholders.

Network and Community

SAYSO will establish and maintain a sustainable international Network and Community of practitioners, procurers and suppliers of SAYSO‐compliant Situational Awareness Systems for Multiple Stakeholders coming from different types of organisations and cultural backgrounds.
