Title: Supporting collaborative sense-making in emergency management through geo-visualization

 

Research Questions:

This paper presents our research on the design of a collaborative sense-making system to support teamwork

 

Hypothesis:

Uses coordinated maps and activity visualization to aid decision-making as well as group activity awareness.

 

Methods:

We propose a multi-view,role-based design to help team members analyze geo-spatial information, share and integrate critical information, and monitor individual activities.

Evaluation:Systematically integrated field and lab methods to evaluate the prototype.

1. Fieldwork: We demonstrated our system to the emergency management team and presented the major
   features of the system.The team expressed interest in our design.
2. Lab:  a between-subject design (face to face(paper) OR via software); 69 participants; avoid male dominance, create same gender groups; 

 

Findings(Results):

Java system prototype:

1. 异地合作分享数据更有效 （？？？） ⬅ 远程更多的分享(push) 更少的 pull，且统计学上的显著差异(Forthepushacts,
   we found that the difference between two treatments approaches significance(ß¼.26(0.15), po.08).For the pull
   acts, the difference is significant(ß¼.81(0.15), po.001).)。
2. 随着重复任务的进行，利用软件提供的支持有促进信息共享 （？？？）⬅ 在远程合作组中，push越来越多, pull越来越少。
3. 软件让用户分享数据更流畅(less need for explicit coordination) ⬅ 远程用户check 对话框的频率降低。
4. 有了软件后，更好的团队合作表现
5. 用户满意 ⬅ 中值>4 (Strongly disagree 1-7Strong agree)

Web-based prototype:

Design guidelines for geo-collaboration supporting system:

• provide both personal and shared maps;
• provide tools allow users to ass comments
• provide tools to sort and aggregate data
• leverage online maps to reduce the burden on technology management and learning.

 

Limitation:

• 根据数据推不出结论
• 评估方式设计不合理
• 很多实验结果显而易见
