Work description

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

The CHORIST work breakdown structure includes several sub-projects (SP):

  • a SP focused on alert system (SP2); including communications from the citizens
  • a SP focused on communications to the citizens (SP3)
  • a SP focused on communications on the crisis field (SP4).

These are completed with transversal sub-projects:

  • a SP focused on engineering support for developments (SP1);
  • a SP focused on integration and validation (SP5);
  • a SP dedicated to project management, standardization, dissemination, impact & exploitation (SP0).

This makes a total of 6 sub-projects.

The following table presents the SPs with a short description.

SP Title Description
SP0 Management, standardisation, dissemination, impacts & exploitation Includes project management and work coordination, management of knowledge, standard-related and dissemination activities, impact analysis, perspective assessment and results exploitation preparation.
SP1 Users inputs and overall engineering Supporting SP to provide user inputs/guidance, requirements, system engineering, overall vision and coordination of SP developments.
SP2 Risk assessment report systems Addresses alert systems, risk awareness, risk assessment and training for risk response preparation. Development and test of related ICT-based systems.
SP3 "Communication to the citizen" system Addresses the design of messages to the citizens, as part of the crisis response, including human and cultural issues. Definition, development and test of a "communication to the citizen system" implementing message design, dispatching, formatting and carrying through selected communication channels.
SP4 Emergency telecommunications systems on crisis site Definition, development and test of emergency field telecommunication systems with special focus on emergency network deployment capability and interoperability.
SP5 Integration, demonstration, assessment and recommendations Integration of the ERME system technologies developed in the other SPs and validation through significant field trials. Demontration assessment and recommendations will be proposed for future work.
