The health care community is interested in improving teamwork. Yet, numerous well-intentioned programs may fail to achieve the desired outcomes in team performance. We address the need for teamwork-focused SBT in EM and detail a process for its development.

This paper proposes design of fault simulator that is used to analyze several process faults in qualitative and quantitative manner  which supports safety design and operation of chemical / production plants

The framework adopts the Complex Adaptive Systems modelling approach, and proposes the agent-based simulation as cognitive tool 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

Two MAS case studies considered:

Condición inestable que implica un cambio inminente, brusco o notable que requiere atención y medidas urgentes para proteger la vida, los recursos, la propiedad o el medioambiente.

The hurricane disasters of 2005 and the threat of pandemic infectious diseases compel medical educators to develop emergency preparedness training for medical students and other health care professional students.The objectives of the exercise:1. The students will gain information about the major concepts of disease reporting, the Incident Command System, and risk communication in an All Hazards approach.2. The participants will practice acting in the role of one stakeholder in a scenario involving a disease epidemic (to gain insight into issues that responders from other professional groups must manage).3. Through interaction with others, the participants will understand the roles of various stakeholders in a disease epidemic.4. The participants will increase in attitudes of willingness to cooperate with other stakeholders to accomplish common goals in a time of hazard.

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

The exercise was based on a scenario where a passenger airplane crashlanded in the sea close to the shoreline.The exercise is planned and carried out annually by the same group of organizations but with a changing scenario.

Thirty-seven participants completed simulation testing in a randomized study design with two visual display conditions (static and dynamic display).

We describe the application of the ontology within the overall mass gatheringmanagement as an integral part of knowledge management for runninga safe event [19]. An example of a case-based reasoning (CBR)intelligent decision support implementation of this architecture isalso presented. (pg 1193)
