Title Challenges in Community Resilience Planning and Opportunities with Simulation Modeling Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response And Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2019
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Community resilience; human-centered design; interface design; simulation modeling; recovery planning
Abstract The importance of community resilience has become increasingly recognized in emergency management and

post-disaster community well-being. To this end, three seismic resilience planning initiatives have been

conducted in the U.S. in the last decade to envision the current state of community resilience. Experts who

participated in these initiatives confronted challenges that must be addressed for future planning initiatives.

We interviewed eighteen participants to learn about the community resilience planning process, its

characteristics, and challenges. Conducting qualitative content analysis, we identify six main challenges to

community resilience planning: complex network systems; interdependencies among built environment systems;

inter-organizational collaboration; connections between the built environment and social systems;

communications between built environment and social institutions? experts; and communication among

decision-makers, social stakeholders, and community members. To overcome the identified challenges, we

discuss the capability of human-centered simulation modeling as a combination of simulation modeling and

human-centered design to facilitate community resilience planning.

Title Who's really on first? A domain-level user, task and context analysis for response technology Type Conference Article
Year 2007 Publication Intelligent Human Computer Systems for Crisis Response and Management, ISCRAM 2007 Academic Proceedings Papers Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2007
Volume Issue Pages 139-148
Keywords Design; Disasters; Management; Natural language processing systems; User interfaces; Crisis; Domain analysis; Emergency; Requirements analysis; Response; User interface designs; Emergency services
Abstract This paper presents a domain-level user, task and context analysis for response technology, based on sociological studies of disaster and disaster response. The analysis examines three dimensions of disaster-scale, kind and anticipability-that have been linked to differences in response characteristics, including differences in individual and organizational responders and behaviors. It yields a number of implications for design, and reveals five domain-specific design requirements. It also offers systematic characterizations of users, tasks and contexts of response technology, that begin to structure the user interface design space, laying a foundation for a theory of design. This work provides a conceptual basis to help researchers and designers recognize and address possible limitations of design decisions, leading, ultimately, to more usable and effective response technologies.

Title Applying ISO 9241-110 dialogue principles to tablet applications in emergency medical services Type Conference Article
Year 2013 Publication ISCRAM 2013 Conference Proceedings – 10th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2013
Volume Issue Pages 502-506
Keywords Ergonomics; Information systems; Mobile devices; User interfaces; Dialogue principles; Emergency medical services; Iso 9241-110; Mass casualty incidents; Usability; User interface designs; Emergency services
Abstract In the safety- And time-critical context of pre-hospital medical care, usability is a major challenge that needs to be addressed, because interaction problems or errors may have serious consequences for patients as well as employees of Emergency Medical Services (EMS). In this regard, a user-centered human-computer interface is a crucial factor for efficient usage as well as user acceptance. Well-established design principles can serve as directives throughout the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of applications. For standard PCbased applications the ISO standard 9241-110 serves as a practical guide since many years. However, new types of devices, especially mobile systems impose new challenges and ways of interpreting usability standards and guidelines. In this paper, we apply the ISO-Standard 9241-110 dialogue principles to mobile applications in EMS, considering the challenges of designing a system suitable for supporting users in both regular day-to-day services as well as rare Mass Casualty Incidents (MCIs).

Title Ontology-Based Approach for Designing User Interfaces: Application for Rescue Actors Type Conference Article
Year 2020 Publication ISCRAM 2020 Conference Proceedings – 17th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal Iscram 2020
Volume Issue Pages 54-65
Keywords Interactions, Modelling, Ontologies, Rescue Operations, User Interface Design.
Abstract Nowadays, rescue actors still lack backing to exchange information effectively and ensure a common operational picture. Several studies report a low adoption of communication systems in rescue operations as well as a negative position of actors to such systems. The real needs of stakeholders, simply put, are not satisfied by the offered systems. Observing this circumstance through a user-centred design focal point, we notice that such issues ordinarily originate from inadequate design techniques. For this reason, we aim to implement Rescue MODES, a communication system oriented to support awareness amongst French actors in rescue operations based on their needs. In this paper, we propose an approach and introduce a platform that allows final users to design system interfaces in a customised way. This approach is based on an application ontology and an interaction model.

Title Local-specific resource planning for mass casualty incidents Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication ISCRAM 2014 Conference Proceedings – 11th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2014
Volume Issue Pages 503-507
Keywords Resource allocation; User interfaces; First responders; Mass casualty incidents; Office environments; Organisational; Resource management; Resource planning; Simulation; User interface designs; Information systems
Abstract In the situation of mass casualty incidents in Germany the questions that always remain are what and how much resources are needed to provide the best response. Furthermore, there are many local-specific constraints that exist, such as the density of hospitals nearby, what their surgery capacities are like, the distance between the local rescue bases and the incident scene as well as the level of preparedness of first responders. This paper describes an organisational approach to elaborate the specific tactical strategies that take part in preparedness planning. Furthermore, this paper will give insight and explore a simulation information system to support local medical response managers in elaborating those strategies in an office environment.

Title Ontology-driven multimodal interface design for an emergency response application Type Conference Article
Year 2012 Publication ISCRAM 2012 Conference Proceedings – 9th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2012
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Data structures; Decision support systems; Design; Information systems; Interactive computer systems; Ontology; Context-awareness; Decision supports; Design recommendations; Emergency response; Expert knowledge; Interface designs; Modelling framework; Multimodal interface designs; Emergency services
Abstract In this paper, we propose an ontology-driven modelling framework, which allows to capture the domain and expert knowledge available within the interface design community, and to support designers in their daily design tasks by eliciting user and application dependent design recommendations. We illustrate how this framework can be used in practice with a concrete case study devoted to multimodal interface design for the purpose of emergency response applications. © 2012 ISCRAM.

Title Community response grid (CRG) for a university campus: Design requirements and implications Type Conference Article
Year 2008 Publication Proceedings of ISCRAM 2008 – 5th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management Abbreviated Journal ISCRAM 2008
Volume Issue Pages 34-43
Keywords Information systems; Social networking (online); Community participation; Community response; Crg; Emergency response; Emergency response systems; Participatory design; University campus; Web interface design; Emergency services
Abstract This paper describes the initial stages of the participatory design of a community-oriented emergency response system for a university campus. After reviewing related work and the current University emergency response system, this paper describes our participatory design process, discusses initial findings from a design requirement survey and from our interactions with different stakeholders, and proposes a Web interface design for a community response grid system. The prototyping of the system demonstrates the possibility of fostering a social-network-based community participation in emergency response, and also identifies concerns raised by potential users and by the professional responder community.
