Operators of power grid supervisory control systems have to gather information from a wide variety of views to build situation awareness. Findings from a conducted field study show that this task is challenging and cognitively demanding. Visualization research for power grid supervisory control systems has focused on developing new visualization techniques for representing one aspect of the pow...

To support the work by military commanders and staffs, this paper presents a classification of different support tools, including Command Support, Decision Support, MultiSensor Fusion, and Information Fusion. Together, these tools would facilitate shared Situation Awareness, including knowledge of friendly as well as hostile, forces on different levels of abstraction. Externalizing the situatio...

Collaborative Virtual Work Groups (CVWG) are small groups of people that perform tasks, share responsibilities, goals and decisions but are distanced in terms of space, time and cultures, and maintain their connections through technology. Collaborative S ystems support them enabling a shared environment and informing of its state and changes through a mechanism called Awareness. In this paper w...

This paper addresses the design of a collaborative virtual work environment for (landscape) architects. More specifically, it uses ethnographic studies of work practice for exploring the metaphor of Manufaktur as a space populated by workplaces, tools, materials, people, exchanges with the outside world, and links between these different elements. We conceive of the Manufaktur as a space, which...

OBJECTIVE We determine whether an ecological interface display for nuclear power plant operations supports improved situation awareness over traditional and user-centered displays in a realistic environment. BACKGROUND Ecological interface design (EID) has not yet been fully evaluated with real operators facing realistic scenarios. METHOD Ecological displays were evaluated alongside traditi...

Human factors, such as inadequate situation awareness, have been associated with preventable accidents in anesthesia practice. Integral to developing situation awareness in the operating room environment is the safe and efficient exchange of essential information when the care of a patient is transferred from one anesthesia provider to another for circumstances such as breaks, meals, and the en...
