Dr. Robin R. Murphy will discuss the spectrum of research in emergency informatics at Texas A&M, concentrating on the lessons learned about human- system interaction through concept experimentation at Disaster City. Emergency informatics is the emerging interdisciplinary, socio-technical field that addresses the information processes (real- time collection, analysis, distribution and visualization) for prevention, preparedness, response and recovery from emergencies. Texas A&M is in a unique position to study emergency informatics as it also serves as the state agency for urban search and rescue and trains over 280,000 emergency professionals a year. Dr. Murphy will also discuss results of studies of ground and aerial robot coordination with humans and sensor networks. Extensive video will be shown.
