Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2001.

This research concerns the development and evaluation of a prototype computer-based system to support group improvisation during emergency response. The design principles for the system, Emergency Management imPROViser (EMPROV), are grounded in cognitive and computer science theories concerning thinking processes of improvisers in and out of the domain of emergency response. The first evaluation of the impact of system availability on performance in a simulated emergency response setting was conducted with emergency response personnel at the Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Following these experiments, the system was refined to include a decision logic acting upon a database of emergency response resources organized as an ontology. Additional evaluations were then conducted with both experienced and novice participants in experimental settings, again using simulated emergency scenarios. This thesis reports on these four activities: initial system development, evaluation of a pilot version of EMPROV, system refinement and further re-evaluation. Directions for future work are outlined, with particular attention given to opportunities for improving theory concerning cognition in group improvisation.
