Two field tests have been carried out by SAR professionals to evaluate the proposed methods of the I-LOV project. The first field test focused on the benefits of FRIEDAA during the response to large scale incidents. Especially, communication performance was assessed based on the number of messages Nmes. The second field test allowed to evaluate the new search technologies. In order to facilitate objective comparisons, both experiments were carried out within two runs, on the one hand with assistive tools of the I-LOV project, and on the other hand without.The second field test took place in a completely destroyed area of 0.58 ha with ten rubble piles at the school of the THW in Hoya, Germany. Three victim performers were hidden in a sewer system under the rubble piles. Furthermore, a worn piece of cloth was placed within one rubble pile, in order to check whether the dogs would neglect correctly this false target. As in the first field test, two runs were performed, but FRIEDAA assisted in both of the cases.

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.

We are studying emergency management planning practices in which geographic communities (towns and regions) prepare to respond efficiently to significant emergency events.This work presents a software architecture that facilitates the development of geocollaboration solutions. The architecture extends prior geocollaboration research and reuses existing geospatial information models.This paper describes how the software architecture can be used for the geospatial, emergency management planning activities of one community.

we have developed an experimental approach for observing and characterizing the process of synthesis of geovisualization data.

The aim of this simulation is to understand with the help of the mathematical programming the number of task force that is needed and  where to locate them in case of a big event.

Study with 3 groups: 1 with video tape instructions, one with hands on and one with no instructions. All Students were evaluated using a three stationobjective structured clinical examination that involved high-fidelity simulations.All participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire that included questions about past clinical experiences and the number of patients managed with a critical incident.This pilot study took place over a two-day period in the clinical learning and simulation center at the McMaster University School of Nursing (SON) in southwestern Ontario.
