Flood Emergency Management Using Hydrodynamic Modelling
Summary

A flood impact assessing methodology was proposed and examined in Qingshan reservoir.

Modeling and simulation method of the emergency response systems based on OODA
Summary

The paper proposes ‘scientific foundations to support the management’. (abstract). “The work in this research paper can be highlighted as three items:(1) Two kinds of frameworks are built based on OODA [Observe, Orient, Decide, Act; from military operations] loop theory.(2) Describe the emergency response mechanism based on OODA–DEVS [Discrete Event System Specification.(3) Emergency response system on earthquake is modeling and simulating based on the mentioned mechanism.” (p. 528)

Developing shared situational awareness for emergency management
Summary

identify the factors that affect the formation of shared situation awareness in search and rescue operations. 1. Goal was to specify the critical information needs of the SAR operation on the operational level 2.Goal was to describe how different actors communicate during an SAR operation 3.Goal was to study in more detail the role of trust in the SAR context

Design of formative evacuation plans using agent-based simulation
Summary

The framework adopts the Complex Adaptive Systems modelling approach, and proposes the agent-based simulation as cognitive for the team which designs the plans.“…adopts the Complex Adaptive Systems modelling approach, and proposes the agent-based simulation … “ pp. 920“ The framework is demonstrated through an application in a metro system, for the case of a framing train stalled between two stations.” pp. 920

eStorys: A visual storyboard system supporting back-channel communication for emergencies
Summary

Experimental : Participants were asked to perform three tasks of incremental difficulty and to fill a post-task questionnaire using the eStoryS system.Three tasks to complete were related to the specific use of eStoryS in the domain of emergencies: Generic task, Required the use of a timeline to solve the task more efficientlyRequired the use of the story- board to collect information about the .

Scenario-based design: A method for connecting information system design with public health operations and emergency management
Summary

Investigate the information needs, communications and work processes of managers of multiple facilities that require support during routine and operations at a large local health jurisdiction.The interview guide covered the following six areas: Professional public health background of each participantNormal duties, decisions and use of technologiesDecisions and communication channels used during routine vs. operationsBarriers and needs to successful communication with staffCurrent understanding of the continuity of operations planInformation about a recent regional snow storm as critical incident.

A container multimodal transportation scheduling approach based on immune affinity model for emergency relief
Summary

Focus on the demonstration of scheduling the optimal path for containermultimodal transport by the model defined, through a case inputting parameters to a multimodal transport network.

Simulation for team training and assessment: case studies of online training with virtual worlds
Summary

of these virtual world simulation exercises shows that trainees find them to be adequately realistic to ‘‘suspend disbelief,’’ and they quickly learn to use Internet voice communication and user interface to navigate their online character/avatar to work effectively in a critical care team.1st Study: sessions conducted with students/interns randomly assigned either to human-patient simulator (HPS) or to a virtual world (VW) for trauma cases simulations. 2nd Study:3D virtual simulation of 2 worlds for the rapid to a chemical, biologic, radiologic, nuclear, or highly explosive (CBRNE) incident.3rd Study:Creation of a 3D virtual world replica of the Stanford department for hospital staff to assess and manage mass casualties after a CBRNE incident.

Obstetric simulation as a risk control strategy: course design and evaluation
Summary

A simulation-based team- course for obstetric clinicians was developed and is a central component of the Controlled Insurance Company (CRICO) / Management Foundation (RMF’s) obstetric risk management incentive program.
