Thus, there is a high demand for state of the art IT support in the field of emergency management systems. In this paper, we identify the core requirements of future emergency management systems and present a new generation of modular, service-oriented and semantic-webbased architecture for emergency management systems. Our emergency management system offers innovative functionality in the context of distributed information sources, collaborative work environments, and consistent situation pictures.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
