A novel joint decision making paradigm for assessing team coordination was developed and tested using baseball infielders. Balls launched onto an infield at different trajectories were filmed using four video cameras that were each placed at one of the typical positions of the four infielders. Each participant viewed temporally occluded videos for one of the four positions and were asked to say...

This paper describes approach, methodology, and potential application areas for agent technologies in C2 performance and primarily focuses on the development of agent-based constructed forces. The platform involved is the AWACS-AEDGETM. This is a distributed, realtime team decision support environment comprised of simulators, entity framework, intelligent agents and user interfaces. The AEDGE i...

BACKGROUND The decision to start long-term tube-feeding in elderly people is complex. The process by which such decisions are made is not well understood. The authors examined the factors involved in the decision to start long-term tube-feeding in cognitively impaired older people from the perspective of the substitute decision-maker. METHODS A telephone survey was administered to the substit...

This article summarizes research from an ecological dynamics program of work on team sports exemplifying how small-sided and conditioned games (SSCG) can enhance skill acquisition and decision-making processes during training. The data highlighted show how constraints of different SSCG can facilitate emergence of continuous interpersonal coordination tendencies during practice to benefit team g...

Intrathoracic displacement of the humeral head is a very uncommon condition and can be life threatening due to lungor heart injuries. There is a report of this condition where intrathoracic bone fragment was missed. Because of rareincidence there is no guideline for approach and treatment of this condition.We hereby present a case of intrathoracic displacement of fractured hum...

Our study examines the group decision-making process and proposes a multi-criteria framework for e-commerce solution investment in information technology (IT) portfolios. First, the evaluation criteria that fit in the IT evaluation context are constructed. Second, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is employed to determine the weights of decision criteria and the benefit score to the c...

faculties’ empowerment is one of the effective tools for increasing productivity and optimum use of their individual and group abilities and capacities to reach organizational goals. organizational culture is the main component of decision making in universities and one of the requirements of psychological empowerment (i.e. meaning, competence, self-determination, trust, impact). given the impo...

This paper describes the methods used for analysis of work style patterns developed by six teams of students working in a simulated distributed decision-making environment over a period of twenty consecutive class meetings. The study required consideration of resource allocation use, effectiveness of team situation assessment, analysis of how the temporal patterns of team work styles developed ...
