GeoCollaborative Crisis Management(GCCM): Building better systems through advanced technology and deep understanding of technology-enabled group work

0306845Alan M。地质协作危机管理：通过先进技术和对技术支持的小组工作的深刻理解建立更好的系统。这笔拨款将把小组工作和协作技术（对话支持的、分布式的）引入危机管理和应急响应领域。政府合作伙伴包括纽约港务局、美国国家安全局、佛罗里达州社区事务部、宾夕法尼亚州环境保护部、国家成像和测绘局、联邦地理数据委员会、美国地质调查局、美国环保署和空军。用户界面公司Advanced Interfaces也承诺提供免费软件，并支持该项目的一些研究人员。大多数商业地理信息系统不包括协作技术，也不了解应急响应人员需要如何协作；这项研究应该在两个方向上都推动前沿。培训、外联和教育也包括在内。

Government partners include the Port Authority of New York, NSAS, the Florida Department of Community Affairs, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the National Imaging and Mapping Agency, the Federal Geographic Data Committee, the USGS, EPA, and the Air Force. There is also a commitment from a user interface company, Advanced Interfaces, to provide free software and to support some of the project's research staff.Most commercial Geographic Information systems do not include collaborative technologies, nor an understanding of how emergency responders need to collaborate; this research should push the frontier in both directions. A strong component of training, outreach, and education are also included.
