Target size guidelines for interactive displays on the flight deck (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...

Agile Planning for Real-World Disaster Response (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.

House rules: the collaborative nature of policy in domestic networks (2015)
Journal Article
Crabtree, A., Rodden, T., Tolmie, P., Mortier, R., Lodge, T., Brundell, P., & Pantidi, N. (2015). House rules: the collaborative nature of policy in domestic networks. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 19(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-014-0771-6

We draw on ethnographic studies to understand the collaborative nature of network policies or rules in domestic settings. We outline the technical nature of network policy in enterprise domains and how this contrasts with the social or collaborative...

Building a birds eye view: collaborative work in disaster response (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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.
