چکیده

This paper reviews recent progress in the development of a computer-based system for supporting improvised group decision making in risky, time-constrained situations. One goal of this research is to realize a system design which is consonant with cognitively-grounded research on improvisation and which contributes to performance on representative tasks. Some of the issues and challenges involved in supporting creative but timeconstrained decision making are first outlined. Salient constructs from research on cognition in improvisation, particularly in jazz, are next reviewed in order to frame the discussion of system design principles. The operationalization of these principles is next discussed. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of current work in the evaluation of the system and also outlines areas for further work.

Evaluating Support for Improvisation in Simulated Emergency Scenarios

Technological systems involving hazards are typically managed by experienced personnel guided by wellformulated, pre-determined procedures. These procedures are designed to ensure that operations proceed in a safe and cost-effective manner. Yet normal operations in these systems are exposed to unexpected contingencies that can require personnel to develop and deploy new procedures in real-time....

The Role of Information Systems to Support Improvisation during Emergencies

This paper discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support improvisation in hospital emergency response. Important characteristics of emergencies and improvisation are identified. Real-time decision support, communication and coordination, and training for improvisation have been identified as three key areas where ICTs can support the use of improvisation. Thi...

Decision Support for Improvisation during Emergency Response Operations

Emergency response organizations are faced with complex, unprecedented events with the potential for catastrophic losses. To assist emergency response organizations in responding to unprecedented events, new models must be developed and the traditional command and control structure of decision making must be revised to accommodate greater flexibility and creativity by teams. In this paper we pr...

An extended hesitant group decision-making technique based on the prospect theory for emergency situations

Throughout the present manuscript, we are going to introduce a novel group emergency decision-making technique in which the application of prospect theory explains the psychological behaviour of the decision maker who is affected by the hesitancy and uncertainty of cognition in decision making problems.\Instead of usual aggregation procedure, we implement here a new fusion technique that ...
