商品簡介
Citing the most significant value of the volume as being reflected in the number of included analytical field studies, Van de Walle (Tilburg U., the Netherlands), Turoff (emeritus, information systems, New Jersey Institute of Technology, US), and Hiltz (emerita, information systems, New Jersey Institute of Technology, US) present 16 research papers dealing with the foundation, development, and design of computer-based emergency management information systems (EMIS). The papers are presented in sections dealing with foundations related to user interface design and ethical issues, individual and organizational contexts, case studies related to (for example) an information management system for mine action in Iraq and user perspectives on the Minnesota Interorganizational Mayday Information System, and issues of EMIS design and technology such as operational applications of space technologies in international humanitarian emergency response and standards-based resource management systems for emergency management.
