“…So far, alarm-visualization design research has mainly been focused on developing presentationoriented alarm visualizations instead of reinforcing the analytical strengths naturally gained by the visualization itself. In particular, past research performed by Mattiason (Mattiasson, 1999), Tuszynski (Tuszynski et al, 2002), Bullemer (Bullemer et al, 2011) and Mikkelsen (Mikkelsen et al, 2011) highlights deficiencies related to: (1) the lack of visual scalability -the capability of visualization tools to display large datasets, in terms of the number of individual elements and data dimensions (Eick and Karr, 2002); (2) information integration -the capability of visualization tools to integrate heterogeneous information spaces into a single analytic environment (Thomas and Cook, 2005); and (3) support for pattern extraction tasksthe capability of visualization tools to organize data by structural relationships such as space and time (Thomas and Cook, 2005). Regarding to visual scalability deficiencies, alarm visualizations have the potential problem of alarm flooding during large disturbances.…”

Due to their effective capability to fix the attention of control room operators to such conditions that require some kind of response, alarm visualizations have become key control artifacts in Human Supervisory Control environments. Nevertheless, the increasing complexity and interconnectivity of controlled processes highlights the necessity of new control artifacts that support both identification and diagnosis tasks. In this line of work, this paper posits the need of redesigning alarm visualizations in order to assist not only the real-time detection of failures but also the achievement of Situation Awareness by control room operators. Based on dynamic interaction and exploration capabilities, this new design perspective for alarm visualizations may improve the operator's ability to diagnose the causes of abnormal situations.

“…Power grid systems often fail to provide operators with an effective overview, which forces them to constantly search for and integrate information from different screens [29]. Prevost et al [38] show how the excessive number of display pages, missing information about equipment status and maintenance requests prevent operators from effectively synthesizing relevant information.…”

Designing interactive technology to support safety-critical systems poses multiple challenges with respect to security, access to operators and the proprietary nature of the data. We conducted a two-year participatory design project with French power grid operators to both understand their specific needs and to collaborate on the design of a novel collaborative tool called StoryLines. Our primary objective was to capture detailed, in-context data about operators' work practices as part of a larger project designed to provide bi-directional assistance between an intelligent agent and human operator. We targeted handovers between shifts to take advantage of the operators' existing practice of articulating the current status of the grid and expected future events. We use information that would otherwise be lost to gather valuable information about the operator's decision rationale and decision-making patterns. This paper describes how we combined a bottom-up participatory design approach with a top-down generative theory approach to design StoryLines, an interactive timeline that helps operators collect information from diverse tools, record reminders and share relevant information with the next shift's operator. We conclude with a discussion of the challenges of working with users in safety-critical environments and directions for future research.
