Use of Cloud Technologies to Solve Issues of Information Integration in Multi-Level Management Systems

Abstract

Introduction. Currently, the paradigm of cloud computing has become widespread in many areas of human life. Particular attention is paid to the use of cloud technologies in emergency response management systems. In Ukraine, such systems are multi-level, mainly with state administration. The use of cloud technologies also opens up new opportunities for the processes of information integration in these systems. Therefore, the problem of building cloud computing models for data integration in multilevel emergency response management systems is quite relevant. Purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to build a model for integrating data coming to different levels of a 3-level emergency response management model using cloud computing technology. Three main levels of government carried out by public authorities – strategic (state), operational (regional) and tactical (direct executors) are involved in responding to crisis and emergency situations and are the object of research work in terms of data integration using cloud computing. Results. The analysis of a 3-level emergency response management system was carried out for the purpose of transformation, integration and storage in cloud structures of data coming from different sources. A study was made of the process of converting primary data to a state that allows them to be used as input in analytical systems. A hybrid cloud infrastructure for processing and storing data at various levels of management is proposed. It is proposed to use a role-oriented user interface for accessing a catalog of services that are publicly available in a hybrid cloud. The advantages of using cloud technologies in creating a joint information environment and situational awareness for a 3-level emergency response management model are shown. Conclusions. As a result of the research, it can be concluded that the use of cloud technologies in multi-level emergency response management systems can provide an opportunity to solve the problem of processing and storing a large amount of incoming data and provide an advantage in the processes of creating a joint information environment and awareness of the situation. The results of the work can be useful in building a cloud infrastructure for multi-level control systems.
