Indoor navigation plays a central role for the safety of firefighters. The circumstances in
which a firefighting intervention occurs represent a rather complex challenge for the design …

In an indoor firefighter mission, coordination and communication support are of the utmost
importance. We present our experience from over five years of research with current …

This research studies firefighting frontline practice and the effects on this practiceposed by
the introduction of computing systems. As the central result, a pattern languagedescribes the …

Despite recent work on information systems, many first responders in emergency situations
are unable to develop sufficient understanding of the situation to enable them to make good …

In this paper we present our approach to capture and share knowledge from field studies
using pattern language and thereby inform the design of ubiquitous computing. In our case …

In this paper we present our approach for informing the design of ubiquitous computing by
using pattern languages of human practice. By linking ethnography and design, this …

A practice-based research approach is based on case studies which are shaped by the
particularity of the individual field of application as well as by the specific design (research) …

Ambiguity has been identified as a useful tool for designing ubicomp systems. In the design
of safety critical systems, however, the expectations for a system are particularly high, and …

Incivility is becoming increasingly recognized as an important workplace stressor, having
been linked to a variety of negative workplace outcomes. Research on incivility has primarily …

This study explored the effects of architectural legibility (spatial complexity), information
status, and sudden obstructions on team situation awareness (TSA) and team performance …
