`
`In alternative embodiments, marshalling rules module 840 includes one or more
`
`algorithms
`
`that dynamically generate the communications
`
`resources that
`
`should be
`
`marshalled into the incident communications network based upon incident conditions,
`
`available communications resources, and historical pattern analysis that examine previous
`
`incident conditions that are similar to the present conditions to evaluate what resources
`
`would be most useful to invite into the incident communications network. The historical
`
`pattern analysis looks at activity levels and past performance of communications resources to
`
`assist in making decisions on what resources to invite.

`
`In embodiments, two or more administrators may review marshalling rules via a
`
`graphical user interface, such as graphical user interface 860. Graphical user interface 860 is
`
`configured to display rules and enable real time modif1cation based on inputs from one or
`
`more administrator. The rules may be adjust to conf1gures resources for auto-inclusion or
`
`request for inclusion, or the right to allow other party's to take control of or share control of a
`
`communications resource. Within marshalling rules, the rules identify who will control the
`
`communications resources, among the other rules characteristics
`
`[0082]
`
`Incident controller 810 marshals communications resources based on marshalling
`
`rules, but also based on the availability of resources as tracked by resource tracking module
`
`830. Incident control 810 marshals communications resources in order of priority and/or
`
`availability as specified in marshalling rules,
`
`in substitution of an initially specified
`
`communications resource or other substitute communications resources when a substitute
`
`communications resource is unavailable based on tracking information from resource
`
`tracking module 830.
`
`[0083]
`
`Rules within marshalling rules module 840 also can include a multivariate set of
`
`marshalling rules, such that communications resources may be marshaled based upon an
`
`identify, geographic proximity or other logical relation of communications resources to other
`
`available communications resources marshaled into the incident communications network.
`
`For example, a multivariate set of marshalling rules includes, for example, marshalling video
