Sensemaking questions in crisis response teams

Developing adaptive mobile support for crisis response in synthetic task environments

This paper presents an experimental platform for the development and evaluation of mobile decision support for crisis response operations. Using a game-engine, synthetic task environments can be created in which coordination support and the usability of adaptive user interfaces for first responders can be examined in a highly controlled manner....
