Abstract: In this paper, we provide an overview of the research project SoKNOS (Service-Oriented ArchiteCtures Supporting Networks of Public Security) which was funded by the German Federal Ministery of Education and Research (BMBF). The SoKNOS project developed concepts for IT systems supporting both public and private organizations in effectively and safely managing disasters and large incidents. This includes, among other things, the development of new methods for the flexible integration of heterogeneous information sources and legacy systems, the situation- and user-oriented presentation and analysis of the integrated information, the efficient exchange of information, and the efficient and secure cooperation between different organizations. SoKNOS particularly addressed the research areas IT security, service-oriented architectures (SOA), workplace of the future and modern user interface, integration of geographic information systems (GIS), and semantic technologies. In this paper, we will present exemplary results that, by providing an encapsulation of system functions into services, increase the modularity and flexibility of future disaster management solutions.
