3. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu What is it? The first STANDARD based Joint Control ROOM Web 2.0 –EDXL-CAP compliant –EDXL-DE enabled A suite of software components, that realize a Service Oriented Architecture –Web 2.0 based, Open Source, –Deployable online as a set of loosely coupled services (Jixel Online) or as a single appliance, with standard interfaces for interoperability with external systems (Jixel appliance) CREATED MAINLY TO DISTRIBUTE CAP and EDXL- DE messages

4. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Brief History Kick-off: 2006 EU Project REACT –Adopted the CAP Protocol –Suggested the use of this protocol in PSAP-to- PSAP interop –Paved the way for the adoption in ITALY Commercial Deployment –Aquila Earthquake 2009 –Calabria Region Fire management (2010-2011) –Emilia Romagna quake 2012 Fully adoption by Italian Fire Fighters

13. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu CAP Generator

14. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Other Generators The m-JIXEL APP Mainly targeted to DEAF people

15. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu CAP ROUTER Concepts –Validation and ingestion of incoming CAPs –Publication / Distribution of CAPs via public and private (password protected) ATOM feeds Technology –Web Service interfaces –CAPs storing using Apache Hadoop –ATOM feeds implementation using the Apache Abdera framework

16. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu CAP ROUTER – Sample Feed (Browser View)

17. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability Loose coupling performances Test objectives –To measure the time for an incident update (a new CAP message) to be delivered to the intended recipient [it is expected that it pulls information from different feed channels (different sources)] –To evaluate the impact of the CAP Router load on the time needed for retrieving a single feed –To assess the system reliability (CAP success/loss ratio) Test scenario: –One feed is configured for each sender/recipient pair –25 producers generate and send CAP messages to the CAP Router: average input rate is 10 CAPs per second –the CAP Router validates the received CAPs and publishes them onto 25 different feeds –one single consumer (CAP retriever) reads continuously and sequentially from the 25 populated feeds

18. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability Total time for reading and handling 25 feeds  Average time for completing a cycle: 21.5 seconds  No CAP losses on all cycles

19. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability Time for reading one single feed  Average time for reading one single feed circa 683 milliseconds  No CAP losses on all cycles

20. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability Time for reading one single feed on different CAP Router load conditions  the average time for reading one feed does not depend on the number of feeds handled by the CAP Router

21. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability Time for reading one single feed. Varying CAP Router load  the average time for reading one feed depends on the number of entries in the considered feed

22. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu

23. Functional elements: Incident API Web Service which receives the incident details in CAP format from the CAP sources Validates the received CAP message using rules based on the CAP standard Sends the CAP message to the next component in the chain (CAP Publisher) Supports EDXL-DE messages.

24. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: CAP Publisher Receives CAP messages from the Incident API Creates AtomPub based feed entries Sends a publish request to the CAP Feed Server

25. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: CAP Feed Server The component in charge of publishing the CAP Feed to the right feed URL Receives the new feed entry Checks the originator and recipients of the event (looking at the information carried inside the CAP message) Stores the new feed entry into the file system, in order to make it accessible at specific URLs If the originator of the event is PSAP1 and one of the recipients is PSAP2, the specific URL for that recipient will be something like: https://capfeed.originator.org/PSAP1/PSAP2

26. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: CAP Recipients The client level components able to get the event details sent by the originator Feeds generated for a given recipient can be read by using a common Feed Reader or from the browser at specific URLs It is also possible to get and visualize event information, extracted from the CAP message, by using additional components

27. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: CAP Retriever Java service used to get the feeds at specific URLs Each read feed entry is translated again in CAP format and sent to the next receiving component in the chain, i.e. the Datastore

28. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: Datastore The Datastore Web Service: receives the event details in CAP format stores the received CAP into an incidents database

29. Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu Functional elements: CAP Viewer The CAP Viewer is an online service implemented to integrate the traditional legacy C&C system: it gets incidents information from the incidents database it allows the C&C operator to visualize the incidents sent by the originator PSAP, and to analyze its location, severity, and act accordingly
