1. INTRODUCTION
The occurrence and the after effects of the vast tsunami that strike on 26 December
2004 in the Indian Ocean has set the scene for a large scale effort by Malaysian
Government to set up a Tsunami Early Warning Systems in Malaysian
Meteorological Department (MMD). This centre deals with the detection of
tsunamigenic earthquake and effectively disseminates relevant bulletin within certain
time period to the responsible authorities using a network of seismic sensor and sea
level observation.
An innovative web based approach of Decision and Dissemination Supports
Systems (DADS) is presented here as part of the Malaysian National Tsunami Early
Warning System. Generally the system presented here is a combination of decision
support tools and dissemination tools delivered through sophisticated but yet user
friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). The main purpose of this system is to assist
the decision makers in making quick and precise assessment regarding
tsunamigenic earthquake and disseminate relevant bulletin to responsible authorities
for further action. This system aimed at improving the standard of operation by
reducing unnecessary human interaction to generate and disseminates bulletin.
Generally the overall design of this system is based on seismic analyst
processing software, tide gauges systems and the utilization of pre computed
tsunami model scenarios. All this network of sensor and data are integrated to DADS
comprising a set of rules, database and front-end GUI to enables the decision maker
to make a quick and precise assessment of the situation at hand and disseminate
relevant bulletin. This system are design to cater the requirement of Malaysian
National Tsunami Early Warning Centre (MNTEWC) and towards the implementation
of service level one and service level two of Regional Tsunami Service Provider
(RTSP) respectively. Based on the requirement for RTSP platform DADS will
provided solution in terms of tsunamigenic potential base on the automate search
algorithm from existing pre-computed tsunami scenarios. This will be a critical
solution in supporting the decision for disseminating RTSP bulletin prior to the
tsunamigenic earthquake.

1.1. Overview
The primary goal of this system is to generate relevant decision proposal and
disseminates critical information to the responsible authorities and the public
respectively in the shortest time as possible based on the availability of data at
that particular time. Generally this system is comprised of two main component
which is decision component and dissemination component. The combination
of this component will enhance the operation capability of the MNTEWC in
making quick and precise decision regarding current situation at hand and
disseminates proper bulletins either to local authorities or international
communities through RTSP platform
This system is developed using a web based approach methodology
by utilizing the usage of several programming language such as Pre-Hypertext
Processor (PHP) and JQuery. As for the storage mechanism MySQL has been
chosen as the prefer database solution while Apache has been chosen as the
web server platform. By adopting this approach this system able to maximize
network centric communication from existing infrastructure of Integrated
Database Management System (IDMS) which store vast information of precomputed tsunami scenarios, geo-location of major cities and sea level
observation data either from local sea level observation or from the sea level
observation data obtain from the Global Telecommunications Services (GTS).
The decision component digest earthquake parameter data supply by
seismic analyst processing software either the Sesicomp3 or Antelope based
on the current working Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). This component
compute relevant numerical tsunami simulation model based on the predefine
algorithm and determine location that have tsunamigenic possibilities. Based on
the location of predetermine probabilities the system calculates the nearest sea
level gauges location near the epicentre and display these information in order.
Tidal analysis is measure relative to normal sea level and these have to be
done manually as sea level data become available using issued bulletin
perspective. These systems will prepare relevant bulletins based on the amount
of information available at that particular time prior to the SOP. The automatic
2
generation of predefine bulletin template will shorten the response time needed
to issued bulletin (T. Steinmetz et. al, 2010).
The dissemination component functions as a solution to disseminate
bulletin in a timely manner. This component utilize two (2) methods for
dissemination which is by using current infrastructure of short messages
services (SMS) gateway and e-mail gateway. All the bulletins will be send
based on the predefine set of condition which contain bulletins templates and
the sender information group.
1.2. How Decision Support Fit into End-to-End Tsunami Warning Centre
The objective of developing DADS is to combine the power of decision support
system and dissemination system under one integrated system. A decision
support is a tool that is aimed to functions fast but yet reliable in order to digest
incoming data for information fusion. This information fusion allows a tsunami
warning centre to assess any potential threat to the region within its area of
responsibilities.
The importance criteria while developing a reliable decision support
system for tsunami warning centre is the ability to integrate in existing
infrastructure of sea level observation database and pre-computed tsunami
scenarios database. These criteria enable the ability for rapid detection and
characterization of tsunamigenic earthquakes thus provide first indication of the
predicted tsunami potential for an end-to-end tsunami warning centre. The
results of predicted tsunami scenarios can be confirm by analyzing current sea
level data based on the location specified by tsunami scenarios.
The
combination of tsunami model scenarios, sea level observation data and
earthquake parameter will increase the credibility of the warnings by decreasing
false alarm (Tsunami Warning Centre Reference Guide, 2007).

1.3. Purpose of Study
The main purpose of this study is to develop a suitable solution of DADS by
utilizing a web based approach. This system will assist the MNTEWC in making
quick and precise decision regarding the situation at hand based on the current
working SOP and disseminate proper bulletins either to the local authorities,
Malaysian public or the international communities through RTSP platform.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
DADS uses a combination of sensor and external databases in a flexible and
extensible method across Local Area Network (LAN) creating an observation
and simulation framework which provide critical input that will be digest by the
systems for information fusion in order to make situation assessment based on
the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). These databases enable the
systems to generate decision proposal and relevant bulletin that needed to be
issued.
2.1. Integrated Database Management Systems (IDMS)
Integrated Database Management Systems (IDMS) is the core database
foundation for Geophysics and Tsunami Division. This system stores several
types of data such as:
a. Archive Earthquakes Data
b. Tsunami Numerical Simulation Model
c. Geo Location of major cities
d. Sea Level Observation Data
All of this data serve as a fundamental for the operation of DADS as IDMS will
provide access to its database across LAN thus permits the usability and
extension of the functionality inside DADS without having redundant database
for similar data.
For the time being a total of 32,529 worth of tsunami numerical data
have been stored in IDMS. All of this data have been pre computed using a
software called TunamiF1. Base on these data a search protocol has been
formulated based on three (3) methods available which are simple method,
interpolation method and extrapolation method (Chai et.al, 2009). This search
method takes basic earthquake parameter input such as origin time, latitude,
longitude, depth and magnitude. With the availability of these data, we can
determine the arrival time and the amplitude of the forecast tsunami height.
5
Currently IDMS store all local sea level observation data obtained from
sea level observation site. This system collects and stores the data every
minute. For future improvement IDMS will digest overseas sea level
observation data originated from Global Telecommunication Services (GTS)
and store inside IDMS database. This factor will improve the ability for DADS to
utilized sea level observation data that include a network of international tide
gauges and Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting (DART) buoy.
2.2. Seismological Communication Processor (Seiscomp3)
Seismological Communication Processor 3 or Seiscomp3 is a seismic
processing system developed by the GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ) from
Potsdam, Germany. It computes earthquake parameter information and
displays this information using graphical user interface called SCESV (Figure
1). Generally this system generates earthquake parameter data using
Extensible Markup Language (XML) format and transfers via Files Transfer
Protocol (FTP) to target destination in DADS server. The data transfer function
for Seiscomp3 is not being done automatically; it depends on seismic analyst
operator to select which earthquake events to be send to DADS server. This is
intentionally done to compensate the usage of Antelope Software. The
selection of this systems as one of the primary data supply to DADS is due to
the availability of magnitude computation that have a higher saturation point,
which is critical as part of the commitment for RTSP.

2.3. Antelope 4.10
Antelope 4.10 is a series of seismic processor software developed by Boulder
Real Time Technology (BRTT). Base on this research, this system will function
as secondary systems in providing earthquake parameter data due to the
absent of higher saturation point of earthquake magnitude. For the time being
no system integration has been done between Antelope 4.10 Software and
DADS. The data input for this system need to be done manually using
earthquake parameter data entry perspective as shown in Figure 2.
7
Figure 2. Earthquake parameter data entry perspective
2.4. Data Flow During Event
While DADS in most cases is triggered by using the FTP injection from seismic
analyst processing software namely Seiscomp3, it can however to receive data
input from other seismic processing systems namely Antelope 4.10, Early Bird
or any other third party data provider. When an earthquake occur, DADS will
process the data based on the predefined standard operating procedure (SOP)
and search the pre-computed simulation scenarios based on the data available
at that particular time. This process occurs simultaneously as the data is being
processed. If there is no suitable pre-computed scenarios can be found, other
workflow are trigger which check for location of an earthquake whether it is
inside or outside the area of responsibility, the location of an earthquake is on
the sea or the land, the location is within 200 km from Malaysian coastline or
whether the current earthquake depth is shallow and last but not least it depend
on the apply rules of Malaysian SOP to denote the potential of any particular
earthquake that have the ability to generates tsunami. For earthquake with
8
magnitude lower than 6.5 in the area of reporting, it is assumes that no
destructive tsunami will be generated.
Every incoming data will be dynamically update the main situation
display with results from pre-computed tsunami scenario, and if there is a
possibility of tsunami a counter will start to count down based on the location
that have the highest impact marked with tsunami warning and followed by
the less impact marked with tsunami advisory. This generates awareness
about the current situation in hand and the operators will takes necessary
action in disseminating bulletins to predetermined group. The main interface
will dynamically updated as new data start coming in, this include sea level
observation data that continue to updates every minutes.
The operators for Malaysian Tsunami Early Warning Centre will
disseminate the proper bulletin generated by the system using issued bulletin
perspective to relevant authorities that has been predefined based on group
condition. To include pre-computed tsunami scenarios and sea level data
observation into the bulletin the operators however need to select this
manually. The operators will select which pre-computed tsunami scenarios
location to be includes in the bulletins as well as observes sea level results.
The interface of issued bulletin have two types of bulletin available, the first
bulletin will cater the requirement of Malaysia National SOP and the second
bulletin denote as the prerequisites of the Regional Tsunami Services
Provider (RTSP). These separations allow the operation for both requirements
to be fulfilled.
Presently only two method of dissemination have been configures for
this system which is short message services (SMS) and e-mail. For sending
SMS the systems have 4 preconfigured SMS backend process running in
parallel. This backend process monitors and sends outgoing SMS every
seconds using Maxis Gateway.

3. SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE
3.1. Architectural View
The architecture of DADS itself is a combination of server component
comprised of database, external sensors or data source, external output such
as the SMS gateway, e-mail gateway and Google map for map production and
Integrated Database Management System (IDMS) containing geo database of
major cities, tsunami numerical simulation model and sea level observation
data. These components communicate among each other using Local Area
Network (LAN) through Malaysian Meteorological Department network
communication.
All of this information will be displayed using DADS graphical user
interface that utilize a web base approach. This method only requires a set up
of web browser for end user to utilize the full function of the system. The main
reason to use web base approach is to increase the usability of existing
database framework and the number of computer that can access the systems
simultaneously without having to install specific software. The architectural view
of DADS is shown in Figure 3.
This system has been developed using PHP and JQuery for the front-end
systems and PHP and bash script for back-end processing daemon. MySQL
has been chosen as the prefer storage mechanism for this system. This allow
the interconection between existing database framework, in this case the IDMS
database. To publish this system across domain we have chosen Apache as
the main webserver. All of this software mention above are open source
software platform in nature and were available for free using open source or
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) licence. Apart from the main
sotware this system relies heavily on using proven yet reliable application
proggraming interface (API) that has shorten the developement time. Among
this API are data table,highland chart,jquery countdown timer and google map
for delivering location output.This API were also available for free under open
source licence.

Supports Systems (DADS)
3.2. Decision Processing
As part of the Malaysian Tsunami Early Warning Centre, DADS provides
processing, assessment, sea level analyst and pre-computed tsunami
scenarios as part of decision processing module. This module process seismic
data based on the bulletin threshold criteria and generates a reliable decision
proposal. The decision proposal for this system has been divided into two types
of condition which serves different purpose. The first condition is the Malaysian
National Tsunami Early Warning Condition that is based on the current local
SOP. This condition complements the requirement for Malaysia within area of
responsibility of 30˚ N 150˚ E, 15˚ S 150˚ W. Second condition is the RTSP
Condition which cover Indian Ocean requirement.
11
This module is design to process data injection either in the form of
XML or from manual data entry using a build in interface. Information
aggregation in this context generates relevant decision proposal that consist of
bulletin type, assessment types, bulletin templates, dissemination group and
type of condition that match current SOP.
3.3. Dissemination Processing
Dissemination processing is a module that manages outgoing dissemination of
SMS and e-mail using existing infrastructure of SMS gateway and e-mail
gateway. This module however manages the process through a back-end
process developed using PHP System Daemon that operates every seconds
checking incoming new bulletin from DADS web interface.
DADS dissemination processing relies heavily on back-end process
either to monitor outgoing SMS and e-mail transmission or disseminate events
bulletin. This process allows the resending of any particular bulletin that is
either failed or pending to be executes automatically without human interaction.
For the time being the dissemination processing was not configured to send fax
as there are no hardware modems being configure to this system. In order to
disseminate press statement and crawlers users however will still need to
download this bulletin and disseminate using fax machine manually. This
issued will be address later in the future as the upcoming upgrades.
12
3.4. System Daemon
System Daemon is a PHP class that allows developer to create their own
daemon application on Linux systems. This class is focussed entirely on
creating and spawning standalone daemons. A daemon is a Linux program that
runs in the background, just like a ‘Service’ on Windows. It can perform a
variety of tasks that do not require direct user input. The main advantage using
daemon is just that its remove the heavy lifting from front-end web interface to
the back-end interface, so a typical complex system can be very well optimized.
When a daemon program is started, it fires up a second’s child process,
detaches it and the parent process dies. This is called forking, and due to the
nature that the parents process dies it will give the console back to the user and
it will look like nothing has happened. But the child process is still running in
memory until it either stops, crashes or is killed. This is where it is importance
to create a situational awareness display in front-end interface to monitor the
daemon processing and if the daemon either stops, crashes or is killed enduser can easily trying to restart the process. DADS rely heavily on the usages
of System Daemon to monitor and executes heavy task that does not require
user interaction as shown in table 1.

3.6. Bulletin Threshold Criteria
Earthquake and tsunami bulletin are initially issued solely on the basis of
seismic data, but to effectively determine earthquake tsunamigenic potential
several condition need to be fulfilled in order to complement data manipulation
from earthquake parameter. Bulletin threshold criteria used for both Malaysian
Condition and RTSP Condition is shown below:
a. Location

Determine the epicentre is within the sea or land area

Determine the epicentre is within 200km from Malaysian coastline

Determine the epicentre is inside area of reporting (AOR)
b. Depth

Determine the earthquake located close enough to the earth
surface to have caused a significant displacement of that surface,
in this case the depth threshold is less than 100 km.
c. Magnitude

Determine the size of an earthquake measure in either Mw,
Mw(Mwp), Mwp, mB, Mw(mB), mb, mLv, ml, or ms.
d. Pre-Computed Tsunami Scenario

Determine the possibility of tsunamigenic earthquake based on
the pre-computed tsunami scenario search algorithm.
e. Sea level Observation (SLO)

Determine the change of sea level observation with interval of ±
0.5 meter.
20
3.7. Malaysian National Tsunami Early Warning
The decision proposal use to determine bulletin criteria for this condition is
based on condition shown in Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b). Bulletins were issued
as soon as the earthquake parameter has been analyzed. This condition has
been separate between a not felt scenario and felt scenario; this is done to
complement local earthquake or earthquake that causes significant tremors to
Malaysia.
3.7.1.
Condition
The flowchart for determination of condition scenarios is shown in Figure
4(a) and Figure 4(b) whiles definition for certain criteria is shown in Table 3.

3.10. Automatic Search For Pre-Computed Tsunami Scenarios
The algorithm used to search for pre-computed tsunami scenarios is based on
several method such as simple method, interpolation method and extrapolation
method (Chai et.al, 2009). This algorithm will be controlled by decision
processing module, where it will search existing pre-computed tsunami
scenarios database using existing earthquake parameter. The results
generated by this algorithm will not be automatically stored inside the database;
it depends on user interaction to select which scenario best fit current situation.
In term of interface, these results will be displayed in situation display
perspective (Figure 6 and Figure 7) and in issued bulletin perspective (Figure
8).

(Tsunami Warning)
Figure 7. Pre-computed tsunami scenarios arrival countdown

Figure 8. Pre-Computed Tsunami Scenarios show list of location
to be includes in the bulletin
As for situation display perspective the results shown represent current
location that has the highest possible threat. The countdown timer will move to
the next location as the counter end. The design goal for this interface is to give
the operator at Malaysian Tsunami Early Warning Centre a clear overview of
the current situation at hand. However if the operator want to include the results
to existing bulletin, they have to use issued bulletin perspective that show all
results of pre-computed tsunami scenarios. This interface permit the user to
choose between results to be includes in a bulletin.
49
3.11. Sea Level Measurement
In general, tsunami information bulletin are issued based on the earthquake
information data in the first stage. After the issuance of the first bulletin the
operator at Malaysia Tsunami Early Warning Centre (MNTEWC) will start to
monitor the real-time sea level observation stations. When a tsunami waves is
detected, they will be included into the observation data in the subsequent
bulletin accordingly. Basically sea level always changes up and down very
slowly due to the tides. Before tsunami waves measurement can be made there
are factor that will affect the reading (UNESCO.IOC-NOAA, 2010). Thus it is
very importance to eliminate astronomical tides level from the observed record
in order to obtain tsunami signal. If the astronomical tides level from the
observed record were eliminate than this following parameter are measured
(also see Figure 9).
Time of measurement:
Time (UTC) when Malaysia Tsunami Early Warning Centre (MNTEWC)
measured the tsunami amplitude shown on the bulletin.
Period:
The period of time in minutes from one crest to the next.
Amplitude:
Tsunami amplitude (meter) in this case is measured from crest to crest.

4. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
4.1. Web User Interface (UI)
The output for this research is a real time web based system operating from a
Linux Server and can be access at temporary address https://161.142.139.80.
This address however will be change once the server got its permanent domain
name. However as for pre-operational prerequisites this system will continues
to operate at specified address.
4.1.1.
Login Screen Perspective
Accessing the system require every user to be register by Geophysics and
Tsunami Division system administrator. Once register, the user can access
the system as shown in Figure 10. Due to security matter this system can
only be access within Malaysia Meteorological Department internal network
connection.
Figure 10. Login Screen Perspective
52
4.1.2.
Situation Awareness Perspective
Situation awareness perspective functions as the main interface to display
earthquake parameter data as well as relevant guidance before the
issuance of bulletin (Figure 12). This interface operates in real-time as it
constantly updates it content as new data coming in from seismic analyst
software.
The situation awareness perspective has six (6) main panels which are
summary panel, earthquake events panel, map panel (Figure 11),
earthquake origin timer (Figure 13), pre-computed tsunami timer (Figure
14) and information panel (Figure 15). Each panel operates based on the
data selected from the earthquake event panel which display seven (7)
data at any particular time. The summary panel display more information
about particular event and through this panel operator can acknowledge an
event, open issued bulletin perspective or update an earthquake
parameter. As for the map panel, Google Map has been chosen to display
earthquake epicentre and the location results computed from tsunami
scenario database. The main reason for this system to utilized online
mapping compared to offline mapping is due to the vast amount of
geographical resource available in Google Map rather than to reinvent the
wheel by recreating custom map. One of the key components for tsunami
early warning centre to operate effectively is to link the system to precomputed tsunami database scenario and effectively display the results (T.
Steinmetz et.al, 2010). This method is being accomplished by using
tsunami scenario timer which displays the predicted tsunami results with
the countdown timer to indicate the time for tsunami waves to hit the
forecast point. This tsunami timer will display the highest possible tsunami
scenario based on the location and the display will move to the next
location as the current get expired. However, operator can view all the data
as shown in Figure 16 in the form of data table by clicking view button.
53
The other criterion for tsunami early warning to operate effectively is to
have a clear guidance about how long an earthquake has occurred. This is
where earthquake timer plays it role by displaying the counts up timer from
the origin time of an earthquake to the current time define by DADS server
time. Other important function to this interface is the ability to notified user
about new data or updated data with the triggering of alarm. This sound
function can be disable by using sound button located in summary panel. If
there is an event where the interface does not get updated, user can
manually update the content with a refresh button located in event panel.

Issued Bulletin Perspective
Issued Bulletin perspective (Figure 17) can be accessed using situational
awareness perspective or manage earthquake data perspective. This
interface display fusion earthquake parameter that has been injected from
seismic analyst software. There are five (5) main panels in this interface
which is earthquake information panel (Figure 18), dissemination status
panel (Figure 19), bulletin configuration panel (Figure 20), sea level
observation panel (Figure 21) and pre-computed tsunami scenarios results
panel (Figure 23).
57
Figure 17. Issued Bulletin Perspective
The earthquake information panel control all earthquake parameter
data available for this system. The modification of existing data can be
done using this panel. Each time this panel get an update a new decision
proposal will be compute based on the availability of the current earthquake
parameter. Any changes to the decision proposal will affect previous setup
for current bulletin type and assessment type selection due to the
conceptual usage of this interface where operator need to updated the
earthquake information panel before further changes can be made to
bulletin configuration panel.
58
Figure 18. Issued bulletin perspective with earthquake information
panel
Dissemination status panel show current status of bulletin that has
been disseminated either using SMS or e-mail. Each and every bulletin
disseminated via this system will be categorized accordingly with a
dissemination elapsed time measured in minutes from the origin time of an
earthquake to the time the bulletin get disseminates. This is a system
indicator to determine the dissemination performance.
Figure 19. Issued bulletin perspective with dissemination status panel
59
Bulletin configuration panel functions as a panel to modify existing
decision proposal. This panel has been divided into two sections which is
the Malaysian Bulletin section and the RTSP Bulletin section. As for the
Malaysian bulletin user can change existing bulletin proposal to desire
bulletin type that match current situation at hand. Same situation apply for
assessment type but with extra boost where user can create custom
assessment by selecting custom value and a dialog box will appear to
compensate this function. There are two information displays which is the
SOP panel that display current decision proposal for both section and mode
panel to display the current status of the bulletin. For instance current mode
of existing bulletin will change from normal to custom mode if there is any
modification made to bulletin content. While the bulletin mode is in custom
condition the bulletin content will not be overwritten, to change this to the
normal mode the user need to change the bulletin type to normal mode.
Figure 20. Issued bulletin perspective with bulletin configuration panel
60
The sea level observation panel shows the list of sea level
observation network either from Malaysia Tidal Gauges Network or
International Sea Level Network. This panel sorts sea level observation
network based on the nearest distance of any particular station to the
source of an earthquake. Sea level station with the nearest distance to the
epicentre will be located on top of this list following other station in an
ascending order.
To include a sea level reading to the bulletin, user need to manually
plot the results based on the sea level chart includes in this panel (Figure
22). Sea level chart generated by this panel will continuously updates data
every one (1) minute. If tsunami waves are observed in these data their
amplitude and period (the time of one complete wave cycle) is measured.
This method is accomplished by clicking the onset of the generated waves
to the complete cycle of the waves in order for the system to calculate the
results. This result will be automatically assign to the panel marked with red
font colour indicated that this data need to be saves.
To save this data, user need to tick a checkbox located beside the
data and the font colour of the data will be revert back to default black. This
indicates that the data has been successfully store in the database.
Removing these data from the database requires the user to tick the
checkbox again and the system will automatically remove the data. These
data panel for particular station will change to not available (N.A) status to
note that the process of removing data has been succeeded.
61
Figure 21. Issued bulletin perspective with sea level observation panel
Figure 22. Sea level chart plotted from sea level observation panel
The pre-computed tsunami panel display the list of predetermines
location based on the level of threat. There are two (2) level of threat
category available in this panel which is warning marked by the colour red
and advisory marked with yellow. In order to include the results to the
bulletin user has to manually save the data by checking the checkbox
available for each set of data. The system will automatically save the
results once user ticks the checkbox. The same procedure applies if the
user decided to remove the data. In this case the user needs to unchecked
62
the checkbox and the system will automatically remove the data from the
database.

67
4.1.8.
SMS Queue Perspective
The purpose of this interface is to display the status of SMS dissemination
queue. This interface monitors current status of the queue and if there is
any messages that is either pending or in failed states, SMS daemon will
try to resend thus messages. There is absolutely no human interaction
needed to resend the message. SMS queue perspective is shown in Figure
29.
Figure 29. SMS queue perspective
68
4.1.9.
E-mail Queue Perspective
The purpose of this interface is to display the status of e-mail dissemination
queue (Figure 30). This interface has the same function like SMS queue
perspective where it only displays e-mail dissemination status and content.
The dissemination method will be executed using back-end process which
in this case e-mail daemon. These daemons continuously monitor new email that needed to be disseminated or e-mail that are either in pending or
failed states.
Figure 30. E-mail queue perspective
69
4.1.10.
All Dissemination Performance Perspective
One important aspect to monitor in the dissemination environment is the
amount of time needed to disseminate particular bulletin. Using DADS this
method can be monitor with all dissemination performance perspective.
This interface display the elapsed time for particular bulletin to be send,
total amount of bulletin send and the status of the bulletin either in failed or
send states. This indication is important to determine the total performance
of this system. This interface is shown in Figure 31.

Earthquake Parameter Data Entry Perspective
Despite the ability to digest XML data injection through Seiscomp3, this
system has a failed over interface to insert earthquake parameter manually.
This interface was developed to support the usage of Antelope software as
there is no direct integration yet to be done with this seismic analyst
software. In general this interface has a build in form to insert earthquake
parameter data. Once this form has been submitted, issued bulletin
perspective will be emerges replacing earthquake parameter data entry
perspective. This interface is shown in Figure 32.

75
4.1.16.
System Daemon Perspective
The method of controlling a typical back-end process contain system
daemon was very difficult for end-user that does not have the ability to
access the main server. As a solution a front-end interface was developed
that allowed the end-user to control and monitor system daemon from their
accounts. Basically this interface permits the ability for end-user to start,
stop and monitor specific daemon process as shown in Figure 37. Instead
of monitoring daemon process this interface also display the connection
status for external database and FTP status.
Figure 37. System daemon perspective
76

5. CONCLUSIONS
The development of DADS is particularly challenging considering the approach
of combining different sensor and database through one system integration
framework, but the outcome of this system have contributed immensely to the
efficiency and increasing the level of productivity in terms of operation for
MNTEWC. Total response time measured from the time of detection for an
earthquake to the dissemination of bulletin has been significantly improve. This
denotes a significant improvement in term of scale of operability as most of this
systems capability aimed at improving the standard of operating by reducing
unnecessary human interaction to generate and disseminates bulletin. Many of
the improvements have been achieved in a sense of technical and
communication infrastructure as well as a standard operating procedure in
determines warning dissemination. The integration of sea level observation
along with pre-computed tsunami scenarios increase the level of confident
while determines a tsunamigenic earthquake. Therefore as this systems
provided with risk and vulnerability assessment through complex decision
processing in a highly dense environment, this systems proves to be highly
efficient through an innovative solution that makes this systems stand out from
traditional approach that is not just time consuming but yet prone to human
errors. One of the key factors in ensuring a sustainable operation for this
system is the ability to undergo continuous improvement on major aspect of
system functionality through indigenous development. This will ensure an
atmosphere of progress within MNTEWC. Therefore this system will continue to
evolve as a dedicated solution for an end-to-end tsunami early warning
systems.
87
FUTURE PLAN
The development phase for this system is still far from completion as this
product will undergo continuous improvement in term of performance and the
functionality of this system. In the near future several improvements have been
formulated to strengthen the foundation of this system itself. This includes the
configuration of new dissemination method to disseminate fax bulletin.
Furthermore
several
RTSP
bulletin
such
as
SMS,
fax
and
Global
Telecommunication Services (GTS) is set to be develop in order to complement
international requirement.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the staff of Malaysian
Tsunami Early Warning Centre (MNTEWC) for giving valuable comments,
feedbacks and suggestion for further improvement during development process
of this system. Special thanks to the management of Geophysics and Tsunami
Division for their support during this research.
