Modeling evacuation planning using A-Prolog

In this work, we present current results of our research, the goal of which is to develop a decision support system (DSS) as an extension of a geographical information system (GIS) to model evacuation plans. We presents why an A-Prolog approach seems to be appropriated to explore in order to add the planning operation as an extension of a GIS. In order to achieve our objective, first we model the disaster scenario. The disaster scenario should be described as close as possible to the real problem. We define an action language, named ALEP, to model and give a solution to the evacuation plans. The syntax and semantics of ALEP are presented. Finally, we plan to test the expressiveness of the ALEP language, defining a DSS to model evacuation plans.
