Target size guidelines for interactive displays on the flight deck (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Avsar, H., Fischer, J. E., & Rodden, T. (2015). Target size guidelines for interactive displays on the flight deck.

The avionics industry is seeking to understand the challenges and benefits of touchscreens on flight decks. This paper presents an investigation of interactive displays on the flight deck focusing on the impact of target size, placement and vibration...

A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Ramchurn, S. D., Fischer, J. E., Ikuno, Y., Wu, F., Flann, J., & Waldock, A. (2015). A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments.

We consider a setting where a team of humans oversee the coordination of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to perform a number of search tasks in dynamic environments that may cause the UAVs to drop out. Hence, we develop a set of multi-UAV su... Read More about A study of human-agent collaboration for multi-UAV task allocation in dynamic environments.

Agile Planning for Real-World Disaster Response (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Wu, F., Ramchurn, S. D., Jiang, W., Fischer, J. E., Rodden, T., & Jennings, N. R. (2015). Agile Planning for Real-World Disaster Response. In Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (132-138)

We consider a setting where an agent-based planner instructs teams of human emergency responders to perform tasks in the real world. Due to uncertainty in the environment and the inability of the planner to consider all human preferences and all attr... Read More about Agile Planning for Real-World Disaster Response.

HAC-ER: A Disaster Response System based on Human-Agent Collectives (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Ramchurn, S. D., Huynh, T. D., Ikuno, Y., Flann, J., Wu, F., Moreau, L., …Roberts, S. (2015). HAC-ER: A Disaster Response System based on Human-Agent Collectives. In AAMAS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (533-541)

This paper proposes a novel disaster management system called HAC-ER that addresses some of the challenges faced by emergency responders by enabling humans and agents, using state-of-the-art algorithms, to collaboratively plan and carry out tasks in...

Human–agent collaboration for disaster response (2015)
Journal Article
Ramchurn, S. D., Wu, F., Jiang, W., Fischer, J. E., Reece, S., Roberts, S., …Jennings, N. R. (2016). Human–agent collaboration for disaster response. Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 30(1), 82-111. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10458-015-9286-4

In the aftermath of major disasters, first responders are typically overwhelmed with large numbers of, spatially distributed, search and rescue tasks, each with their own requirements. Moreover, responders have to operate in highly uncertain and dyna... Read More about Human–agent collaboration for disaster response.

Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Fischer, J., Reeves, S., Rodden, T., Reece, S., Ramchurn, S., & Jones, D. (2015). Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response.

Command and control environments ranging from transport control rooms to disaster response have long been of interest to HCI and CSCW as rich sites of interactive technology use embedded in work practice. Drawing on our engagement with disaster respo... Read More about Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response.

Designing mobile experiences for collocated interaction (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Lundgren, S., Fischer, J., Reeves, S., & Torgersson, O. (2015). Designing mobile experiences for collocated interaction.

Many of our everyday social interactions involve mobile devices. Yet, these tend to only provide good support for distributed social interactions. Although much HCI and CSCW research has explored how we might support collocated, face-to-face situatio... Read More about Designing mobile experiences for collocated interaction.
