A study of the effectiveness of low cost interactive tabletop displays in an emergency operations environment, 2006

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Lan
Identifier: b2088345
Abstract

MapSketch is a low cost interactive tabletop display. Designed for an Emergency Operations Center (EOC), it allows users to create digital markup data on paper and digital maps. This markup data is a small file that can be sent to responders in the field or another EOC. MapSketch uses paper and marker interface instead of the traditional computer or laptop graphical interface.

Feedback mechanisms in automated emergency management training, 2009

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Gua
Identifier: b2195469
Abstract This study explored automated training for emergency managers, and the effects of feedback on performance and preferences. To explore the effects of training procedures, a prototype emergency management training application was built to allow the usage of either immediate feedback or hot wash feedback. Users were split into two groups and asked to run through two emergency management scenarios using one of the feedback mechanisms, and the difference in scores between each feedback were...

Improving software maintenance efficiency through the use of behavior-based cognitive models in integrated development environments, 2007

 Item — Call number MU Thesis Bay
Identifier: b2088780
Abstract Currently, in most software environments, the fundamental tool used by software maintainers to perform system maintenance is the integrated development environment (IDE). The problem with current IDEs is that they have poor usability and offer little design information to the user; this increases the time necessary to perform program comprehension activities. In addition, many systems being maintained are accompanied by poor, if any, design documentation. This, in turn, increases the time...
