“…Other studies also refer to HL as a CAS, however the definition of CAS is not always made explicit, or the notion of HL as a CAS is taken as read and is not elaborated upon (e.g. de Faria Cordeiro et al 2015;Shafiee and Berglund 2016;Handayani et al 2017). Prior research suggests that this theoretical approach could add to the body of knowledge in HL (Gupta et al 2019).…”

In this study we argue that recognising humanitarian logistics (HL) as a complex system is a key step in developing supply chain design and management strategies that meet the needs of stakeholders. This study draws on complex adaptive systems theory to examine the characteristics and implications of complexity for HL. Through case-study research of humanitarian responses in Haiti and Pakistan, characteristics of complexity across organisational boundaries are identified. We find that the complexity of the context impacts the outcome of the humanitarian response and conclude that HL must not only react to its environment, it must also create its environment. As HL must work within significantly differing environments to create solutions, the standardised approaches used to manage supply chains are less desirable. While this paper focuses on HL, wider applicability to other complex logistics operations is also discussed, informing the design and management of contextually specific supply chains.

“…Complex domains, like urban planning, resource management and emergency response decision-makers [26][27][28], have suffered setbacks in controlling these system behaviours and, consequently, unfolding the actions taken [28,29]. In all these domains, decision-makers find it difficult to anticipate the secondary effect of interdependent decisions taken and predicting their mid-and long-term impact.…”

Complex decisions can give rise to unexpected consequences from implemented actions. The main problem discussed by this research is the difficulty suffered by decision-makers in projecting impacts of a complex decision before the decision occurrence. Unexpected impacts of complex decisions demand mitigating action so that it is possible to intensify the positive aspects and neutralize the negatives. Dealing with unexpected impacts generates a cognitive overload on decision-makers and on the availability of material resources. To solve these problems, this research proposes the impact projection of complex decisions in a collaborative way, to be applied before the decision occurrence. The proposed solution considers a systematizing project impact of complex decisions inside work groups and delivers a framework and artefacts to support decision-makers in their decision impact tasks before the occurrence of a real decision scenario. This solution was evaluated by decision-making specialists and their goal was to investigate the applicability of this proposal to different teams. This is a qualitative research, and the method applied was the case study because we would like to deeply understand the behaviour of this approach in decision-makers team. The evaluation generated evidence on the feasibility of this approach, showing that the artefacts provide a systematic structure to orient what decision-makers must do to know and understand the impacts of decisions before their execution. This evidence is contribution for decision support field.

“…In this work it was possible to identify different systems that were created or are being studied to provide important data to adequately support decision making, because in this complex environment there are several challenges due to the dynamics of unpredictable events [23]. However much of it still focuses on the static or limited scope approach, managing sensor data or geographic mapping of a region.…”

The term groupware has been used in the context of emergencies aimed at, among other things, allowing the management and execution of emergencies to be carried out by more than one involved, at the same time, cooperating and/or coordinating. This work aims to analyze the state of the art about groupware technologies created by researchers to assist in the management of emergencies. In this sense, the technologies and their areas of action were surveyed and analyzed: pre-emergency event (preparation and mitigation, where planning and preparation for a possible emergency occur; during the emergency (whose objective is to promote the execution of actions and follow); and post emergency event, which comprises the phase of restructuring, reconstruction and regeneration, for example, of the sites hit by the emergency. The results of the systematic literature review show that in the last years there has been more effort in the design of groupware technologies that work in pre and post-emergence to detriment of the post-emergency phase, opening up the possibility for developers of groupware technologies to consider exploiting such phase.
