In distributed work environments, collaborators often lack situation awareness, which can be described as knowledge about what is happening in an individual’s work environment. Thus, information systems are needed to support situation awareness between distributed workers. However, despite its relevance, the concept lacks the clear theoretical understanding needed for a rigorous specification a...

Situation Awareness, and how systems can be designed to support it appropriately, have been a focus of study in dynamic, safety critical contexts such as aviation. The work reported here extends the study of situation awareness into the domain of Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD). The study was conducted in one of the largest ambulance services in the world. In this study, we encountered develop...
