Cloud Based Intelligent Decision Support System for Disaster Management Using Fuzzy Logic Areej Fatima1, areejfatima@lgu.edu.pk 2 2 Sagheer Abbas , dr.sagheer@ncbae.edu.pk, Muhammad Asif , Muahmmadasif@ncbae.edu.pk 1 Department of Computer Science Lahore Garrison University (LGU), Pakistan 2 Department of Computer Science NCBA&E Lahore, Pakistan Abstract Field of cloud computing is an emerging field in computer science. Computational intelligence and Decision support systems (DSS) have to gain concern as a computing solution to planned and unplanned problems of organizations in order to progress decision-making tasks in a better way. In today era, Disaster management is a big problem. To overcome this problem, a real time computation is required. Cloud computing is a tool to offer promising support to decision support system in a real time environment. In this paper, a fuzzy based decision support system is proposed to meet all the requirements using fuzzy logic inference system. Keywords: Disaster management, decision support system, cloud computing. 1. INTRODUCTION Cloud computing is composing of list of Information Technology services provided to users over network by the third-party vendors. Services of cloud computing are provided on network as "as a service" i.e. Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Cloud computing is a very comprehensive perception of infrastructure convergence. [2] These huge services allow users such as Enterprises to get their application up and running from remote place in more convenient way and allow them to manipulate it in more efficient way and meet the growing demand of business. Concept of cloud computing can be understood easily with the example of Play Store for Android and iTunes for Apple. All the application of such devices like smart phones and tablets, can be stored and managed on one place. [1] Cloud environment have solved many problems like storage problem, problem of large memory space at user-end is solved due to the cloud services. Users can store his data over cloud storage in case of data loss or damage device he/she can easily get that data. Computing tendencies like grid computing, "Pay as you go use" distributed computing; virtualization show that cloud computing is a multi-disciplinary research field. Actually, lattice computing has evolved into business- oriented form as cloud computing. Cloud computing has brought a marked change in business and IT infrastructure, everywhere computing power, large data storage and other services are subcontracted to third. Cloud computing is a technology and computing model. It provides timely, on-demand network access to the common pool of configurable computing properties. [5] In 2012 IBM have provided a global private cloud for French Open Tennis tournament. This cloud service was developed to fulfill demands, like real-time score, statistics as well as video clips of tournament, of increasing number of LGU R. R.J.
