	Title	A Comparative Study of Pre-trained Language Models to Filter Informative Code-mixed Data on Social Media during Disasters			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	920-932
	Keywords	Code-Mixing; Crisis Informatics; Language Model, Multilingual Data
	Abstract	Social media can inform response agencies during disasters to help affected people. However, filtering informative messages from social media content is challenging due to the ungrammatical text, out-of-vocabulary words, etc., that limit the context interpretation of messages. Further, there has been limited exploration of the challenge of code-mixing (using words from another language in a given text of one language) in user-generated content during disasters. Hence, we proposed a new code-mixed dataset of tweets related to the 2017 Iran-Iraq Earthquake and annotated them based on their informativeness characteristics. Additionally, we have evaluated the performance of state-of-the-art pre-trained language models: mBERT, RoBERTa, and XLM-R, on the proposed dataset. The results show that mBERT (with F1 score of 72%) overweighs the other models in classifying informative code-mixed messages. Moreover, we analyzed some patterns of exploiting code-mixing by users, which can help future works in developing these models.

	Title	Localization of Events Using Neural Networks in Twitter Data			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	909-919
	Keywords	Social Networking; Event Localization; Twitter; Neural Networks; GAN, BiLSTM
	Abstract	In this paper, we develop a model with neural networks to localize events using microblogging data. Localization is the task of finding the location of an event and can be done by discovering event signatures in microblogging data. We use the deep learning methodology of Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) to learn event signatures. We propose a methodology for labeling the Twitter date for use in Bi-LSTM However, there might not be enough data available to train the Bi-LSTM and learn the event signatures. Hence, the data is augmented using generative adversarial networks (GAN). Finally, we combine event signatures at different temporal and spatial granularity to improve the accuracy of event localization. We use microblogging data collected from Twitter to evaluate our model and compare it with other baseline methods.

	Title	Using Cybersecurity Testbeds to Evaluate (In)Secure Structural Health Monitoring Systems			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	902-908
	Keywords	Cybersecurity; Structural Health Monitoring Systems; Incident Response; Testbed
	Abstract	An increasing amount of technology is being integrated into bridges and other structures, such as dams and buildings, to proactively look for signs of deterioration or damage. These technologies are collectively known as structural health monitoring systems. While the benefits of integrating this technology are attractive, this integration is also creating an environment that is conducive to security vulnerabilities. While previous research has focused on the broader cybersecurity challenges associated with structural health monitoring systems, limited guidance is available for identifying specific security vulnerabilities in these systems and their implications for responding to security incidents. Hence, this paper presents CYBRBridge, a cybersecurity testbed that provides a sacrificial environment to assist in identifying and exploring vulnerabilities associated with structural health monitoring systems. This paper reports ongoing research efforts to develop the CYBRBridge testbed and initial results identifying vulnerabilities within the wireless components of a commercial structural health monitoring system

	Title	Mimicking the Sense of Smell of Search and Rescue (SAR) Dogs: a Bio-inspired Steering Framework for Quadruped Robots			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	892-901
	Keywords	Quadruped Robots; Search and Rescue (SAR); Dogs; Perception
	Abstract	Due to their sense of smell and ability to explore areas for missing people, dogs are valuable for search and rescue (SAR). Canines can discover humans under water, under snow, and even beneath crumbling structures because they can smell human scent. Building unmanned autonomous quadruped robots with canine agility is an attractive step to fully replicate the capabilities of dogs. Robots with legs are already capable of mimicking some of the physical traits of dogs, such as the capacity to traverse rough terrain. However, they would need to replicate also the level of sensory perception of a dog to successfully perform SAR operations. To achieve this, a navigation strategy that uses a direct sensor-motor coupling by following the principles of the Braitenberg vehicles is adopted in this work. This paper represents one of the first steps towards the connection of bio-inspired sensor-based steering mechanisms and bio-inspired locomotion for quadruped robots.

	Title	COBOT Safety Awareness: A RealTSL Demonstration in a Simulated System			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	874-891
	Keywords	COBOT; Safety Awareness; STAMP; Simulation; Safety Level
	Abstract	This work aims to propose the RealTSL methodology to empower collaborative robotic systems with self-safety awareness capability and address the methodology's limitation in determining time ranges for the unsafe system state transitions, which are inputs of the methodology. The COBOT system used in this paper to demonstrate RealTSL is an automated scissor lift robot to be used by first responders for “work at height,” simulated in Simulink™. The demonstration begins by 1) applying STPA to the system, 2) applying Early Warning Sign Analysis based on STAMP (EWaSAP), 3) creating an acyclic diagram that depicts system state transitions towards unsafe states, 4) incorporating the appropriate sensory equipment in the simulation, 5) simulating the system's operation for different scenarios using fault injection and finally 6) use information from the simulations to complete the RealTSL analysis and calculate the safety level of the system in real-time during its simulated operation.

	Title	EMA-based Monitoring Method of Strengthened Beam-Column Joints			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	853-873
	Keywords	Structural Health Monitoring (SHM); Beam-Column Joint (BCJ); Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (C-FRP) Ropes; Hierarchical Clustering; Piezoelectric Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) Transducers.
	Abstract	Reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints (BCJ) are crucial structural components, primarily during seismic excitations, so their structural health monitoring (SHM) is essential. Additionally, BCJ of existing old RC frame structures usually exhibits brittle behavior due to insufficient transverse reinforcement. To alter the brittle behavior of BCJ, an innovative reinforcing technique has been employed, accompanied by a real-time SHM system. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (C-FRP) rope as near surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement has been utilized as external reinforcement of the column and the joint panel. The use of piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) transducers for real-time SHM of BCJ sub-assemblages was investigated. Statistical damage indices, such as RMSD and MAPD, were employed to quantify the damage. Furthermore, an innovative approach based on hierarchical clustering was introduced. The experiment results revealed that the damage level of the reference and the retrofitted specimens were successfully diagnosed with PZT transducers.

	Title	Toward Interactive Visualizations for Explaining Machine Learning Models			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	837-852
	Keywords	Explainable Ai; Data Visualization; Bridge Health; Decision Trees
	Abstract	Researchers and end users generally demand more trust and transparency from Machine learning (ML) models due to the complexity of their learned rule spaces. The field of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) seeks to rectify this problem by developing methods of explaining ML models and the attributes used in making inferences. In the area of structural health monitoring of bridges, machine learning can offer insight into the relation between a bridge’s conditions and its environment over time. In this paper, we describe three visualization techniques that explain decision tree (DT) ML models that identify which features of a bridge make it more likely to receive repairs. Each of these visualizations enable interpretation, exploration, and clarification of complex DT models. We outline the development of these visualizations, along with their validity by experts in AI and in bridge design and engineering. This work has inherent benefits in the field of XAI as a direction for future research and as a tool for interactive visual explanation of ML models.

	Title	ROBUST communication platform – A decentralized, distributed communi cation platform for the earthquake early warning system ROBUST			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	822-836
	Keywords	Earthquake; Early Warning System; Communication Platform.
	Abstract	Strong earthquakes of great intensity pose a severe threat to human life and property. Earthquake early warning systems are designed to give people in endangered areas valuable seconds to save their lives and property. The basis of an efficient warning system is a communication infrastructure that provides high-speed and reliable communication between the components of the warning system. This paper presents the distributed, decentralized communication platform for the ROBUST project. It discusses the key challenges and requirements such as resilience, real-time capability and target group-specific information distribution that are placed on such a communication platform. In addition, it presents the conception of the communication platform, which is based on a subscriber procedure between autonomous, decentralized peers (nodes), in order to be able to realize the requirements. Finally, it details the technical implementation, practical realization, and evaluation of the communication platform.

	Title	An innovative scenario-based modeling tool for the management of resilient water resources			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	808-821
	Keywords	Climate Change; Resilience Performance Assessment; Water Resources Management; Scenario-Based Analysis; Predictive Modelling
	Abstract	As freshwater availability for domestic and agro-industrial uses is highly sensitive to climate change, there is an urgent need for the management of this critical resource to be resilient, i.e., to cope with and rapidly recover from climate risks. To achieve this resilient goal, decision-makers need to have a comprehensive understanding of (i) the current and future local water resources, (ii) the ways these resources are and will be impacted by climate change, and (iii) the effects their management decisions can have. In this paper, we present an innovative scenario based modeling tool that help decision-makers make the most appropriate decision towards managing water resources: the Resilience Performance Assessment (RPA). This GIS-based decision support tool illustrates the current and future effects of climate change on local water resources and simulates the outcomes of different water resources management strategies. The RPA helps guide decision-makers towards the implementation of context specific adaptation strategies.

	Title	Revealing social disparities under natural disasters using large-scale mobility data: A dynamic accessibility perspective			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	797-807
	Keywords	Mobility; Natural Disaster; Social Disparity; Spatial Accessibility
	Abstract	Accessibility is an essential indicator for measuring the functions and equity of urban services, and could be harnessed to provide insights into the social disparities in urban residents’ interaction with urban services. In this study, we attempt to measure urban residents’ accessibility patterns to urban services during natural disasters using an improved gravity model method. Firstly, by analyzing human digital trace data in the Wilmington metropolitan area over three months, we assessed the residents’ accessibility levels of grocery stores and restaurants before, during and after Hurricane Florence, and captured the diverse trends of residents’ responses to the hurricane. Then, we identified and statistically tested the social disparities in residents’ accessibility behaviors in response to the hurricane. The findings may provide new insights for city planners and policymakers in terms of equity evaluations of resource accessibility and resource allocations among different communities and improvement of their resilience against natural disasters.

	Title	Adaptive Execution of Workflows in Emergency Response			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	784-796
	Keywords	Emergency Management; Disaster Response; Adaptive Workflow Execution; Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
	Abstract	In emergencies, preparation is of paramount importance but it is not sufficient. As we know, emergency agencies develop extensive (text) plans to deal with accidents that could occur in their territories; their personnel train to enact such procedures, but, despite that, the unpredictable conditions that occur during an emergency require the ability to adapt the plan promptly. This paper deals with the last mile of a process we defined for enabling the adaptive execution of such emergency plans. In previous works, we discussed how to convert a free-text plan into a structured-text form, represent this plan using standard modelling notations, and extract goals that plans prescribe to be fulfilled. In this paper, we propose an approach for executing these plans with a workflow execution engine enriched by the capability to support runtime adaptation.

	Title	Using Photography as a Trace of Activity to Facilitate the Retention of Emergency Response Actions			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	773-783
	Keywords	Emergencies' Simulation; Photovoice; Experiential Learning; Bystanders; Chain of Survival
	Abstract	The chances of survival of a victim of cardiac arrest or stroke decrease considerably without rapid intervention. Bystanders, the first people able to intervene, are however few to act. This ignorance of the seriousness signs of the pathologies, and of the importance of acting, combined with a feeling of incapacity to perform emergency gestures, are the main reasons for this low level of action. The absence of knowledge originates both from a lack of training and from forgetting training courses. To overcome this problem, some trainings propose high fidelity simulation devices associated with a debriefing to create a strong emotional impact leading to a stronger memory impact. To assess the impact of this type of simulation, we set up a Living Lab including a high fidelity simulation of emergency situations (with citizens, dispatchers, first responders and paramedics), a debriefing and a method to create a “trace of activity”, still aiming at generating a higher memory impact. To measure the effects of the Living Lab, we analyzed the emotional impacts evoked by the participants, categorized the learning and finally studied the creation of the activity trace. The results show that the Living-Lab elicits emotions (for the cardiac arrest scenario) and projections (for the stroke scenario) and can therefore potentially improve the retention. The learnings were of several natures: individual and practical learnings on emergency management, learnings on collaboration within the chain of survival and theoretical learnings. Analysis of the retained learning after 2 to 8 months is in progress, therefore no results are available yet.

	Title	Citizen Engagement in wildfire management: needs, challenges, methods and framework			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	761-772
	Keywords	Citizen Engagement; Wildfires; Forest Fires; SILVANUS; Disaster; Communication
	Abstract	With climate change, the frequency and spread of wildfires have intensified globally, bearing disastrous impacts on wildlife, the economy, and human well-being. Efforts on broad fronts are required, including proactive public participation. However, studies related to citizen engagement in the context of wildfire management remain limited. Therefore, there is a need for further studies in this area. This paper reports on ongoing work conducted in the context of an H2020 project called SILVANUS. The study investigates the methods, practices, needs and challenges related to citizen engagement in wildfire management. The authors have developed a tentative citizen engagement framework, and preliminary results related to citizens' needs and challenges are presented. The study identifies relevant topics, training contents, and methods that can be used for public engagement in wildfire management. The paper contributes towards designing future engagement modalities, technologies and training materials related to wildfire management and potentially even other crises.

	Title	Towards a Taxonomy for Classification of Coordination Systems for Spontaneous Volunteers			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	751-760
	Keywords	Spontaneous Volunteers; Unaffiliated Volunteers; Taxonomy; Coordination System; Volunteer Management
	Abstract	Spontaneous volunteers have always been a relevant factor in disaster management. Digitalization and modern technologies such as social media and mobile devices had a great impact on the quality of spontaneous volunteer engagement and their mobilization. However, their targeted integration into official disaster management measures remains often challenging. In the last decade, there were different scientific and practical approaches to develop information systems for coordination of spontaneous volunteers addressing different scopes and scenarios. In this article, we have analyzed the current state of the art and use a methodological approach to develop a taxonomy for classifying existing and emerging developments in the field. The taxonomy is intended to assist practitioners in selecting appropriate systems for their respective purposes as well as support researchers in identifying research gaps. The resulting research artifact has undergone an initial evaluation and can support maintaining a better overview in a growing subject area.

	Title	Digitalized Co-production and Volunteerism in Emergency Response: a Literature Review			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	738-750
	Keywords	Digital; Co-Production; Volunteers; Emergency Response; Crisis Response
	Abstract	ICT-enabled or digitalized co-production of public services has become increasingly relevant to emergency response and crisis management. This study provides a literature review on this phenomenon, exploring both large-scale crises and frequent emergencies. We found that research in the domain is scarce and focuses mainly on the phenomenon in terms of digital volunteerism. In large-scale crises, they mostly refer to spontaneous forms of volunteering, and in smaller emergencies, to more organized volunteers that collaborate with a response organization over time. Similarities to digitalized co-production in the public sector generally include financial, administrative, ICT, and demographic factors. Differences include, e.g., aspects of coordination, support, and processing by formal actors. We argue that there are benefits of adding a theoretical co-production perspective to digital volunteerism in emergency response and that our literature review can guide future research on models and (the double) use of volunteers in both kinds of emergencies.

	Title	Challenges in work procedures in distributed crisis management			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	732-737
	Keywords	Crisis Management; Distributed EOC; Tabletop Exercise; Information Technology Use
	Abstract	This is a work in progress paper on work and IT usage in distributed crisis management. The data presented in this paper has been collected at a one-day tabletop exercise with four Swedish municipalities. Four members of the four municipalities’ crisis organizations were invited to the exercise, which was designed as one scenario divided into two cases. At the start of each case of the exercise, each municipality was split into two separate rooms, to simulate a distributed crisis management. During the first case they could communicate using phone, TETRA radio, and the Internet. During case two in the scenario, there was no Internet connection. The study indicates that all the municipalities managed to organize and solve the given tasks using primarily voice communication, in case one using phone or, e.g., Teams, and in case two using TETRA radio. Information sharing using IT was non-existing.

	Title	Supporting Instructors in Conducting Exercises			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	721-731
	Keywords	Instructor Work; Simulation; Crisis Management; Exercise; Learning
	Abstract	Planning, designing, facilitating, and evaluating are central activities for instructors when conducting exercises. When conducting these activities, instructors usually rely on past experiences since structured educations or guides for instructors do not exist. It is therefore evident that there is a need for such educations or guides. In this study, the contents of a guide for instructors are proposed. The contents are based on seven semi-structured interviews with novel and experienced instructors, where they were asked to map their procedures for conducting exercises through a journey map. The interviews resulted in material which was transcribed and analysed using a thematic analysis. The thematic analysis emphasized five themes to consider when acting as an instructor, namely roles, realism, defining purpose and goals, learning, and planning and acting. The results from the interviews, combined with past literature, resulted in proposed contents for an instructor’s guide which is currently being developed.

	Title	Identifying Teamwork Processes in a Medical Command and Control Team During the COVID-19 Pandemic			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	711-720
	Keywords	Teamwork; COVID-19; Crisis Response; Command and Control; Healthcare
	Abstract	This paper presents an ethnographic study consisting of non-participatory observations of a Swedish regional medical command and control team during their crisis response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The field-notes from the observations were analyzed using a deductive content analysis with categories representing teamwork processes. The content analysis showed that the studied regional medical command and control team was engaged in all but one of the predefined teamwork processes. Furthermore, the content analysis also added to the understanding of the regional medical command and control team’s work procedures by emphasizing how the team was engaged in the different processes. Lastly, the content analysis also made it possible to identify potential developmental needs of the studied regional medical command and control team.

	Title	Building capacity – conceptualizing Training of Trainers			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	701-710
	Keywords	Training of Trainers; Exercises; Learning; Capacity Building
	Abstract	Many organizations train and educate their staff to prepare for crisis. One approach is train-the-trainer (ToT; Training of trainers) concept. It is based on the idea that someone can be trained as a trainer, who in turn train their colleagues. The philosophy resembles a pyramid scheme that allows for a fast and efficient spread of knowledge and skills. This study focused on perceptions of the ToT concept through interviews with ToT trainers. Two learning theories, organizational learning (4I) and experiential learning theory (ELT) were used to conceptualize the ToT-concept. It was found that the ToT-concept can be used as the method to conduct ELT to achieve organizational learning and knowledge (4I). Furthermore, the study also presents how participants perceives ToT using thematic analysis. This resulted in four themes: Common understanding of ToT, Learn-by doing, No grounding in ToT, and Difficult to ensure quality.

	Title	Design of a Systems Theory Approach for the Evaluation of C2-Systems			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	692-700
	Keywords	Systems Theory; Command And Control; Observation; Evaluation
	Abstract	The course of large-scale incidents as well as disasters can reveal weaknesses in command and control (C2) systems, which make adjustments necessary. Also, new technologies may require C2-systems to be adapted to achieve their full potential for improving incident command. This paper deals with an approach to enable the comparison and evaluation of different C2-systems or their adaptations in order to find the best possible customizations for C2-systems. To this purpose, systems theory is used to unify the approaches of different research disciplines. Within the C2-system boundaries, distinctions were made to represent three different levels of evaluation: “Physical Characteristics”, “Structures and Processes” as well as “C2-system-effectiveness”. During the implementation of the evaluation methods from the different research disciplines into the systems theory approach, it became apparent that the comprehensive approach is desirable, but that broad knowledge and expertise is necessary, especially at the highest evaluation level “C2-system-effectiveness”.

	Title	Methods to meet changes in the security environment a proposal of qualitative and quantitative assessment attributes for coordination performance			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	676-691
	Keywords	Modelling And Simulation; Multiteam Systems; Control Theory; Emergency Response
	Abstract	The use of methods to inform changes of command and control has long been important, in particular through empirical surveys and computational simulation. In this article, we focus on a particular type of control: “bump less” time-shift of authority during emergency response where it is not desirable to interrupt task resolution (Dess et al.,1984). As an example we address a particular type of control in a sociotechnical use case, i.e. ensuring coordinated action among human and non-human entities, and specifically use as a case shift of who ensures coordinated action when what entities are participating fluctuate over time, yet there is a need to sustain coordination (e.g. due to criticality of sustained performance). We do some work to detail a sociotechnical control mechanism and we present methods for examining the influence such control may have on performing both planned, prescribed, organizational task work as well as dynamic, non-prescribed tasks (Stanton et al., 2018). We argue that measures of high fidelity, with high specificity, defined before task resolution (feedforward) may be particularly important in prescribed change due to the possibility to define clear goals for coordinating and detailing who holds coordination authority. For dynamic change, on the other hand supporting technology that enable a sensing and processing of feedback the number of agents/entities undergoing change is not predetermined and the change of who is best suited to coordinate authority is less clear. Our theorizing is illustrated by using traditional linear control theory emulating shift of control nuanced by an emergency use case. In conclusion, we suggest future directions for research as well as practical implications.

	Title	Enhancing Learning from Incidents by Reconstruction of Events: Using the SQUARE Tool for Evaluation			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	663-675
	Keywords	Learning from Incidents; Event Reconstruction-Based Evaluation; Tabletop Exercise
	Abstract	Evaluation after exercise and incidents—often called After Action Review or AAR—are important to enhance the emergency management (EM) response capability. However, evaluation supporttools for event reconstruction after incidents and exercises are not yet fully available. We engaged EM stakeholders in a tabletop exercise based on snow chaos and car accidents scenarios to evaluate a fully functional prototype. The tool assists information sharing in real-time and enhances debriefing process of any EM response and exercise. Analysis of reflective discussions and an open question survey shows that the EM participants consider the features of the prototype to facilitate better learning from incidents. However, they have different attitudes concerning the adoption, management, and application of the tool in organizations. For instance, more security features are required to comply with regulations. We argue that the tool is an important first step to fill the gap on the need for “event reconstruction-based evaluation.”

	Title	Collaborative Information Seeking during a 911 Call Surge: A Case Study			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	649-662
	Keywords	Emergency Communications; Information Seeking; Emergency Management; Crisis Informatics
	Abstract	This case study examines collaborative information seeking in a public-safety answering point during a 911 call surge that occurred when a man fired an assault rifle at police officers and evaded capture for nearly an hour in March 2020. Overwhelmed by questionable and imprecise reports from 911 callers, telecommunicators and on scene responders began working together to conduct broad and deep searches for the shooter. Whereas broad searches improved the scope of information gathering by identifying multiple, albeit questionable and imprecise, reports of the suspect’s location, deep searches improved the quality of information gathering by investigating 911 callers’ reports using drone, helicopter, and patrol units. These findings suggest requirements for collaborative information seeking in public-safety answering points, including capabilities to conduct broad and deep searches using next-generation 911 technologies, and command and control requirements for triaging these search tasks within inter-organizational emergency response systems.

	Title	Exploring Demons for the Establishment of Team Situational Awareness			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	636-648
	Keywords	Teams SA; Barriers of Team SA; Trust; Cynefin Framework; Information Sharing; Multi-Agency Collaboration; Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
	Abstract	Individual situational awareness (SA) is crucial for building team SA, which is necessary for achieving a shared understanding of a situation, making informed decisions, and taking appropriate actions. This article examines the communication barriers that emerge when transitioning from individual to team SA in emergency management scenarios. We observed two emergency exercises on “ongoing life-threatening violence” and dam failure causing hospital congestion. The study was complemented with interviews with participants of these exercises, aiming at identifying barriers called SA-demons in the team setting. We discovered barriers that hinder the establishment of team SA, including a vicious cycle of mistrust, a fragmented information trap, a false feeling of mastery trap, and a decaying memory trap. These barriers can stem from individual, organizational, or technological factors. To complement existing SA theories, we applied the Cynefin framework and found that standard operating procedures can be potential barriers when transitioning into chaotic or complex domains.

	Title	Contact Tracing Mobile Applications in New York: A Qualitative Study on the Use and Privacy Perceptions			Type	Conference Article
	Year	2023	Publication	Proceedings of the 20th International ISCRAM Conference	Abbreviated Journal	Iscram 2023
	Volume		Issue		Pages	620-635
	Keywords	COVID-19; race and ethnicity; age; contract tracing; mobile apps
	Abstract	Contact tracing mobile applications were used in several countries as the exclusive means of reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In the United States (US), such mobile applications were not nationwide; several states adopted and developed mobile applications for use by the local citizenry. Previous research indicated that the use and adoption of such applications might be correlated to individual demographics. Using the Antecedent Privacy Concerns and Outcomes (APCO), this study assesses individuals' use, adoption, and privacy considerations when using the contact tracing mobile application in New York State. Focus group participants were interviewed to determine if age or race/ethnicity were confounding factors related to their use of these mobile applications. This qualitative study will contribute to the body of knowledge by operationalizing and expanding on the APCO model to further understand the service, privacy, and perception of mobile apps used during COVID-19.
