Abstract | Evaluation and testing are major steps in the development of any information system, particularly if it is to be used in high-risk contexts such as conflicts. While thus far there are various approaches for testing against technology requirements; usability or usefulness, there is a lack of a comprehensive evaluation framework that combines the three elements. The lack of such a framework and commonly agreed standards constitutes a barrier for innovation, and at the same time imposes risks to responders if the technology is introduced without proper testing. This paper aims to close this gap. Based on a reviewing of evaluation methods and measurement metrics, we design a comprehensive evaluation framework including common code quality testing metrics, usability testing methods, subjective usefulness questionnaires, and performance indicators. We demonstrate our approach by using the example of an integrated system for the safety and security of humanitarian missions, and we highlight how our approach allows measuring the system?s quality and usefulness. | ||||

Title | Robust Private Web Maps with Open Tools and Open Data | Type | Conference Article | ||

Abstract | Crisis management information often has a geospatial dimension that allows it to be visualized on a map. As more and more systems are developed as web-based applications, maps have also become a common sight in such applications. The de-facto solution to add maps to web-based applications is to integrate a third-party service. For web-based crisis management information systems, this approach has two disadvantages. First, the third-party service must be available and reachable. Second, by using third-party services you implicitly share what you are viewing, with the risk of unintentionally exposing sensitive location information. In this Tool Talks paper, we show how to create a robust and private alternative for web-based maps using open source tools and open data. |

Title | Management of Sensor Data with Open Standards | Type | Conference Article | ||

Abstract | In an emergency, getting up-to-date information about the current situation is crucial to orchestrate an efficient response. Due to its objectivity, preciseness and comparability, time-series data offer broad possibilities to manage emergency incidents. Since the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing with an estimated number of 30 billion sensors in 2020, it offers excellent potential to collect time-series data for improving situational awareness. The IoT brings several challenges: caused by a splintered sensor manufacturer landscape, data comes in various structures, incompatible protocols and unclear semantics. To tackle these challenges a well-defined interface, from where uniform data can be queried, is necessary. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has recognized this demand and developed the SensorThings API standard, an open, unified way to interconnect devices throughout the IoT, which is implemented by the FRaunhofer-Opensource-SensorThings-Server (FROST). This paper presents the standard, its implementation and the application to the domain of crisis management. | ||||

Title | EMAssistant: A Learning Analytics System for Social and Web Data Filtering to Assist Trainees and Volunteers of Emergency Services | Type | Conference Article | ||

Abstract | An increasing number of Machine Learning based systems are being designed to filter and visualize the relevant information from social media and web streams for disaster management. Given the dynamic disaster events, the notion of relevant information evolves, and thus, the active learning techniques are often considered to keep updating the predictive models for the relevant information filtering. However, the active relevant feedback provided by the human annotators to update the models are not validated. As a result, they can introduce unconscious biases in the learning process of humans and can result in an inaccurate or inefficient predictive system. Therefore, this paper describes the design and implementation of an open-source technology-based learning analytics system ? EMAssistant ? for the emergency volunteers or practitioners – referred as the trainee, to enhance their experiential learning cycle with the cause-effect reasoning on providing relevant feedback to the machine learning model. This continuous integration between the cause (providing feedback) and the effect (observing predictions from the updated model) in a visual form will likely to improve the understanding of the trainees to provide more accurate feedback. We propose to present the system design as well as provide hands-on exercises for the conference session. |
