Patent number: 7966163Abstract: An authoring, execution, and participation software system and corresponding method for the capture and execution of real-world events (e.g., crises) involving individuals such as senior private and/or public sector leaders is presented. The authoring system and method are used to model a scenario, incorporating knowledge from domain experts, relevant media, and external computation/simulation engines. The execution system and method execute scenarios created by the authoring system and method and provide a communication hub for the participation system and method. The participation system and method provide individuals, such as senior leaders and their staff, with appropriate views into the unfolding scenario and appropriate decisions to be made. The system and method also include features that allow for research and analysis with respect to, for example, efficient crisis response tactics.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Crisis Simulations International LLCInventors: Mark Chussil, Christopher Hatzi, Noam Ben-Ami, Adrian Cruz, Dennis Damore
