An assessment of activity-based modeling and simulation for applications in operational studies, disaster preparedness, and homeland security | Summary
review of behavioral model paradigms and their application in travel and wayfinding along with the review of 53 activity-based models have been conducted |
Defining Team Performance for Simulation-based Training: Methodology, Metrics, and Opportunities for Emergency Medicine | Summary
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. |
Development and evaluation of ontology for intelligent decision support in medical emergency management for mass gatherings | Summary
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) |
Expert system CRIPS: support of situation assessment and decision making | Summary
Development of a Middleware Improved Technology (MIT) Add-On to mitigate the danger of blackouts in the electricity and communication networks. This expert system CRIPS ( Prevention and Planning System) has following global functionalities:Work out and show the complex dependency structures of Large Complex Critical Infrastructures (LCCIs)Show the direct and indirect effects (cascading effects) of perturbationsSupport of assessment of the current situation with regard of the dependency structureSupport of decision making with regard of the dependency structure including alerting |
A general methodology for data-based rule building and its application to natural disaster management | Summary
Presenting a new version of SEDD (Expert System for Disaster Diagnosis) which uses fuzzy logic. This SEDD is intended to be a web-available, low-cost, tailor-made solution that should fit specific NGO constraints such as ease of use, low computational and personnel requirements, and not relying on highly sophisticated and precise data. |
The workpad user interface and methodology: Developing smart and effective mobile applications for emergency operators | Summary
Show findings of EU project WORKPADsoftware and communication infrastructure to support operators in emergencyscenarios |
Short simulation exercises to improve emergency department nurses' self-efficacy for initial disaster management: Controlled before and after study. | Summary
Short, small-scale computer-based simulations to improve head emergency nurses’ general and specific self-efficacy and management skills. |
Public Health System Research in Public Health Emergency Preparedness in the United States (2009—2015): Actionable Knowledge Base. | Summary
Systematic literature review which analyzes knowledge production in public health emergency preparedness system research in the timeframe 2009-2015. |
Interactive plant simulation modeling for developing an operator training system in a natural gas pressure-regulating station. | Summary
This study proposes a method of interactive plant simulation modeling which delivers the online simulated results to the field operators (FOPs) and induces them to take proper actions in the case of pre-identified accident scenarios in a chemical plant. The model can improve the effectiveness of the system through interactively linking the trainee actions with the simulation model resulting in different accident scenarios with respect to each trainee’s competence when facing an accident. |
Identifying and explicating knowledge on method transfer: a sectoral system of innovation approach. | Summary
purpose is to evaluate the interactive aspects of a management simulator (CMTS), i.e. its usability |
