Supporting collaborative sense-making in emergency management through geo-visualization.
In management, collaborative decision-making usually involves collaborative sense-making of diverse information by a group of experts from different knowledge domains, and needs better tools to analyze role-specific information, share and synthesize relevant information, and remain aware of the activities of others. This paper presents our research on the design of a collaborative sense-making system to support team work. 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. Our design uses coordinated maps and activity visualization to aid decision-making as well as group activity awareness. The paper discusses design rationale, iterative design of visualization tools, prototype implementation, and system . Our work can potentially improve and extend collaborative tasks in management.

The design and implementation of system prototypes went through a two- phased iterative process that included technical system implementation, system , and improvement.

This paper presents our research on the design of a collaborative sense-making system to support team work
First, our systems focus on one specific geo-collaboration task.our visualization tools are still limited
The contribution of the work reported in this paper lies in the design research on a new collaborative system for teams doing complex geo-spatial planning tasks. Our design of a multi-view, role-based system has the potential to improve and extend collaborative tasks in management.
we developed system prototypes to support role-based geo-collaboration. These system prototypes are targeted at multi-expert teams making complex decisions based on maps.
