CRI: IAD - A Pressing Need for Observation, Facilitation and Computer Support of Group Interactions for Advancing United States National Priorities--Homeland Security and Economic

提案号：CNS 07-09249PI(s): Pena-Mora， Feniosky承包商，Noshir s .；福赛斯，大卫·A·墨菲；Robin R., von Ahn，路易斯机构：伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校，伊利诺伊州香槟61820-7406提议：该项目计划建立一个移动事件协调实验室（MICL），解决关键响应人员之间有效协调和协作的迫切需求，以确保对威胁国家经济和国土安全的极端事件做出有效反应。研究揭示了两个迫切的需求：改进研究工具，以便在复杂的社会技术背景下观察急救人员的相互作用。开发支持这些交互的计算机工具和方法。MICL将由六个主要部分组成：一个建立在卡车底盘上的移动协调站，一个定制的轻型气垫船，两个个人移动平台，两个机器人微型直升机，两个微型地面机器人系统和十个个人坚固耐用的可穿戴计算机系统。所有组件将配备强大且可互操作的通信硬件、数据持久性、音频/视频捕获和处理设备，以及相关软件，以安全捕获、存储、传输并提供有关混乱环境中现场数据收集的反馈。目前，研究人员被迫使用远离灾难现场的固定实验室进行固有的动态和移动研究；MICL应促进受极端事件影响地点的工作。这项工作支持。理解基本原则，充分利用信息技术和适当的算法来管理不同响应者和组织之间的互动；集成安全数据模型和通信框架，支持极端条件下的群体交互。发展计算机基础设施，支持第一反应者之间的互动，以减少极端事件对国土安全和国民经济的负面影响；整合许多学术领域，包括土木工程、建筑、计算机科学、社会学、商业、教育，专注于混乱环境中关键用户的交互，带来现实世界的挑战。更广泛的影响：解决有利于国家安全的需求，该基础设施提供急救人员援助，以解决安全和脆弱性等关键问题，以及准备、响应和从灾难中恢复的专业知识。此外，它还涉及这个充满活力的领域的教育和培训。

Proposal #: CNS 07-09249PI(s): Pena-Mora, Feniosky Contractor, Noshir S..; Forsyth, David A., Murphy; Robin R., von Ahn, LuisInstitution: University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL 61820-7406Title: IAD:A Pressing Need for Observation, Facilitation and Computer Support of Group Interactions for Advancing US National Priorities-Homeland Security and Economic Project Proposed:This project, planning the development of a Mobile Incident Coordination Laboratory (MICL), addresses the pressing need for effective coordination and collaboration among critical responders to ensure an efficient response to extreme events that threaten national economy and homeland security. Studies reveal two pressing needs: to. Improve research tools for observing first responders interactions in complex socio-technical contexts and. Develop computer tools and methodologies that support these interactions.MICL will consist of six main components: a mobile coordination post built on a truck chassis, a customized light hovercraft vehicle, two personal mobile platforms, two robotic miniature helicopters, two miniature ground robotic systems, and ten personal rugged wearable computer systems. All components will be equipped with robust and interoperable communication hardware, data persistence, and audio/video capture and processing devices, with related software to securely capture, store, transmit, and provide feedback regarding on-scene data gathering in chaotic environments. Currently, researchers are compelled to use stationary laboratories away from the disaster site to conduct inherently dynamic and mobile research; MICL should facilitate work in location affected by extreme events. This work supports . Understanding of underlying principles, adequate uses of IT and appropriate algorithms that govern interaction among diverse responders and organizations;. Integration of secure data models & communication frameworks that support group interactions in extreme conditions;. Development of a computer infrastructure to support interactions among first responders to reduce the negative impacts that extreme events have on homeland security and national economy;. Integration of many academic areas including civil engineering, architecture, computer science, sociology, business, education that focus on interactions of key users in chaotic contexts, bringing real-world challenges.Broader Impacts: Addressing needs benefiting national security, this infrastructure provides first responders aid to address critical issues such as security and vulnerability, along with expertise to prepare, respond, and recover from disaster. Moreover, it addresses education and training in this vibrant area.
