Abstract

This paper presents an architecture to help the decision-making process of disaster managers. Here we focus on a core aspect of this process which is taking decisions in the presence of conflicting options. We exemplify this problem with three simple scenarios related to diverse contexts and provide an explanation on how our system will advice in all these cases.
