Cyberdisasters require an organization’s disaster team to be prepared. Disaster events are difficult predict, but the impact of this risk on organization is large. However, organizations sometimes struggle in being prepared for situations. Here, awareness situations when analysing priority disasters (e.g., earthquakes and pandemics) how mitigate them can help preparedness. Mitigation scenarios ...

Changes to the National Airspace System will occur as part of the Next Generation Air Transport System. The consequences of these changes on the situation awareness of pilots and air traffic controllers need to be identified. Before situation awareness metrics can be deployed towards this goal, metrics that can unambiguously capture baseline levels of situation awareness in the current day Nati...

A common assumption in organizations is that information sharing improves situation awareness and ultimately organizational effectiveness. The sheer volume and rapid pace of information and communications received and readily accessible through computer networks, however, can overwhelm individuals, resulting in data overload from a combination of diverse data sources, multiple data formats, and...

Driver Assistance Systems support drivers in their task of driving a vehicle. There are various applications which work on different levels of assistance and perform different types of assistance. All these applications need some information of their current situation. Adaptive Cruise Control for instance senses the velocity of the preceding vehicle and adapts the own velocity accordingly. Curr...

For multi-modular nuclear power plants under the scheme of multiple steam supply system (NSSS) modules driving a single turbine, NSSS are coupled tightly with each other by common giving more complex normal operation respect to single-modular plants. To limit cost plants, one operator is assigned monitor and control two or modules, whose feasibility should be verified. Combined characteristics ...

People working collaboratively must establish and maintain awareness of one another’s intentions, actions and results. Notification systems typically support awareness of the presence, tasks and actions of collaborators, but they do not adequately support awareness of persistent and complex activities. We analysed awareness breakdowns in use of our Virtual School system—stemming from problems r...
