What is it?
• The first STANDARD based Joint Control ROOM Web
2.0
– EDXL-CAP compliant
– EDXL-DE enabled
• A suite of software components, that realize a Service
Oriented Architecture
– Web 2.0 based, Open Source,
– Deployable online as a set of loosely coupled services
(Jixel Online) or as a single appliance, with standard
interfaces for interoperability with external systems (Jixel
appliance)
• CREATED MAINLY TO DISTRIBUTE CAP and EDXLDE messages
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Brief History
• Kick-off: 2006
• EU Project REACT
– Adopted the CAP Protocol
– Suggested the use of this protocol in PSAP-toPSAP interop
– Paved the way for the adoption in ITALY
• Commercial Deployment
– Aquila Earthquake 2009
– Calabria Region Fire management (2010-2011)
– Emilia Romagna quake 2012
• Fully adoption by Italian Fire Fighters

Other Generators
• The m-JIXEL APP

Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
CAP ROUTER
• Concepts
– Validation and ingestion of incoming CAPs
– Publication / Distribution of CAPs via public
and private (password protected) ATOM
feeds
• Technology
– Web Service interfaces
– CAPs storing using Apache Hadoop
– ATOM feeds implementation using the
Apache Abdera framework
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
CAP ROUTER – Sample Feed (Browser View)
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability
Loose coupling performances
• Test objectives
– To measure the time for an incident update (a new CAP message)
to be delivered to the intended recipient [it is expected that it pulls
information from different feed channels (different sources)]
– To evaluate the impact of the CAP Router load on the time needed
for retrieving a single feed
– To assess the system reliability (CAP success/loss ratio)
• Test scenario:
– One feed is configured for each sender/recipient pair
– 25 producers generate and send CAP messages to the CAP
Router: average input rate is 10 CAPs per second
– the CAP Router validates the received CAPs and publishes them
onto 25 different feeds
– one single consumer (CAP retriever) reads continuously and
sequentially from the 25 populated feeds
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability
Total time for reading and handling 25 feeds


Average time for completing a cycle: 21.5 seconds
No CAP losses on all cycles
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability
Time for reading one single feed


Average time for reading one single feed circa 683 milliseconds
No CAP losses on all cycles
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
ROUTER delivery TIME & Reliability
Time for reading one single feed on different CAP Router load conditions

the average time for reading one feed does not depend on the
number of feeds handled by the CAP Router

Functional elements: Incident API

Web Service which receives the incident
details in CAP format from the CAP
sources



Validates the received CAP message using
rules based on the CAP standard
Sends the CAP message to the next
component in the chain (CAP Publisher)
Supports EDXL-DE messages.
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: CAP Publisher

Receives CAP messages from the
Incident API


Creates AtomPub based feed entries
Sends a publish request to the CAP Feed
Server
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: CAP Feed Server

The component in charge of publishing the CAP Feed
to the right feed URL




Receives the new feed entry
Checks the originator and recipients of the event (looking
at the information carried inside the CAP message)
Stores the new feed entry into the file system, in order to
make it accessible at specific URLs
If the originator of the event is PSAP1 and one of the
recipients is PSAP2, the specific URL for that recipient will
be something like:
https://capfeed.originator.org/PSAP1/PSAP2
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: CAP Recipients

The client level components able to get
the event details sent by the originator


Feeds generated for a given recipient can be
read by using a common Feed Reader or
from the browser at specific URLs
It is also possible to get and visualize event
information, extracted from the CAP
message, by using additional components
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: CAP Retriever

Java service used to get the feeds at
specific URLs

Each read feed entry is translated again in
CAP format and sent to the next receiving
component in the chain, i.e. the Datastore
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: Datastore

The Datastore Web Service:


receives the event details in CAP format
stores the received CAP into an incidents
database
Intelligence for Environment and Security – IES Solutions http://www.iessolutions.eu
Functional elements: CAP Viewer

The CAP Viewer is an online service
implemented to integrate the traditional
legacy C&C system:


it gets incidents information from the incidents
database
it allows the C&C operator to visualize the
incidents sent by the originator PSAP, and to
analyze its location, severity, and act
accordingly


JIXEL appliance is deployed in a server, with all the JIXEL software
components on board



A server that can be installed at Emergency Services premises and offer
all JIXEL applications
