Our research focuses on the incorporation of usability into location based services. We devised a development process that incorporates techniques borrowed from the human-computer interaction discipline. These techniques are rigorously selected and integrated and cover all the location based systems development phases. This development process combines three major processes in a single framework: usability, the software process and mobile applications construction. The aim is to assure greater levels of user satisfaction with location based services.Keryboards: Usability mobile, development process for mobile.

“…Based on the understanding of how Civil Protection works in Italy and other countries stemming from the collected user requirements (de Leoni et al 2007;Humayoun et al 2009), WORKPAD identified two user typologies, backend and front-end users. Front-end users are the operators acting directly in the field during emergency management, whereas back-end users are those who manage the situation from control rooms, providing instructions and information to front-end operators.…”

In this paper, the WORKPAD project, concluded in 2009, is presented and the main features of the system are highlighted. They are the interplay of process management (i.e., task-driven coordination of operators during emergency situations) with geoawareness of the team about the area and the team itself (real-time position of colleagues), also based on data integration techniques. © Societá Italiana di Fotogrammetria e Topografia (SIFET) 2011

“…By this we mean functionality supporting planning and accomplishing of the tasks and actions performed by the emergency response personnel (Humayoun et al, 2009). Having plans and tasks explicit in the operations close to the scene of the incident is not so common in our findings, but in the cases where plans and tasks are managed by a higher level of operation, having access to this information is important, including receiving tasks and reporting progress/fulfilment of the tasks.…”

In this paper we use findings from a number of empirical studies involving different emergency response actors to identify shared or overlapping needs for user interfaces functionality. By analyzing the findings from these studies, we have identified 11 categories of functionality supporting shared needs, including functionality for handling incident information, logging facilities, and functionality for managing human resources and equipment. After presenting our research method, we give an overview of the identified categories of shared functionality. We also describe one of the categories, namely resource management, in some more detail including giving examples of concrete user interface functionality. We have validated the conclusions of our findings through observations and interviews in a training exercise. The validation supported our prediction that the exercise would not reveal major additional categories of functionality, and it also supplemented the earlier findings regarding which actors that need which categories of functionality. We conclude by discussing pros and cons of using generic solutions supporting shared functionality across emergency response actors.
