dc.description.abstract | Training emergency response decision makers using live, virtual and/or constructive
simulations can be highly complex since certain situations can generate stimulusresponse
cycles that depend significantly on unpredictable human judgments. In
particular, effective training scenarios require a combination of content contributed via
pre-authored scripts and content generated dynamically during the training exercise.
Large-scale exercises require multiple domain experts contributing oversight and content
to the scenario as it proceeds. Such real-time adaptation requires situational and group
awareness based on an understanding of pre-scripted materials and the adaptations of
others. This thesis describes the evolution and evaluation of a collaborative graphical
timeline system, called the Scenario Timeline System (STS), which facilitates
asynchronous and synchronous collaborative timeline management, and its application
in large-scale, computer-supported emergency response training exercises. | en |
