The specification of a generic Information Logistics Component
(ILC) is a main result of the DEWS project. Although

would serve in different geographic areas, for heterogeneous
message recipient groups, such as rescue services, civil defence
agencies, and civilians. The model provides message
filtering strategies as well as multilingualism and different
target group vocabulary
