t-test, comparing results of agent-human with results of human-human p13

Two researchers iteratively coded interview transcripts for area manager information needs ( use of constant comparative methodsScenarios of use developed through scenario-based design (scenarios of use applied on recent critical event at the time of the study: snow storm)

Statistical analysis of pretest and posttest questionnaires, as well as statistical analysis of the seconds to treatment of trauma and in-hospital patients during the exercises in the simulation.

There is an additional paper about the software evaluation.The evaluation studies were conducted with ReliefWeb. ReliefWeb is a United Nations (UN) funded project managed through the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).CDA-processed documents are listed in the Google Earth legend, the contents and structure of which are determined by the CDA. Legend items contain folders for thematic and geographic references organized by scale (country, state, county, town etc.) found. Information is structured this way by the CDA to provide a disaster manager with interactivity over the display of thematic references and entities by geographic scale. For example, a disaster manager may only want to view counties referenced in documents. Term frequency within a document determines the height a term is rendered in 3D space.The following section provides empirical evidence, derived from a utility study and focus group discussion with disaster management practitioners, of the benefits and drawbacks of the virtual globe capabilities of the CDA to support situation awareness for disaster management.

Comparison of results allows evaluation of actual efficiency of employing space systems into crisis management operations
