“…Scenarios are a useful planning tool, especially for complex situations (Godet, 2000;Coates, 2000;Turoff et al, 2006). Human brain is capable of dealing with complexity, but that is laborious (Coates, 2000).…”

In the 21 st century, rapid changes of our society necessitate continuous review and practice of emergency plans. Traditional face-to-face (FtF) interactions to make emergency plans and train responders seem insufficient. The virtual team (VT), a new team form allowing dynamic recruitment of experts from global extent and conduction of teamwork whenever it is needed, provides a more agile solution. This paper introduces a group support system called Collario (Collaborative Scenario) aiming to facilitate effective collaboration in creating and discussing scenarios in VTs and to utilize scenarios as the vehicle to review and practice emergency plans on a continuous basis. This research is still in progress. Three professionals have been involved in system demonstrations and interviews. Although it is still too early to make any conclusions, it is encouraging to know that all the three experts thought Collario easy to use and might be useful for various emergency preparedness purposes.

“…Scenarios are also a useful training tool (Turoff et al, 2006). Scenarios can be used for a full spectrum of scenario-based training programs ranging from small-scale low-fidelity Table-Top eXercises (TTXs) to largescale high-fidelity simulations.…”

“…Alexander (2000) concludes that using scenario methodology is useful in developing skills regarding time management, cognitive mapping, team management and decisionmaking under stress. Additionally, Ringland (1998) stresses that perhaps the greatest use of scenario methodology has been to facilitate planning, and Turoff et al (2005) suggest crisis planning via scenario development using gaming. Using gaming increases the ability to cope with the unfamiliar and unexpected in the planning process, to find new insights and reflections.…”

This paper extends emergency management literature by developing a methodology for emergency management continuity planning (EmCP). In particular, the methodology focuses on inter-organizational continuous and coordinated planning among emergency management organizations. The authors draw on Soft Systems Methodology (Checkland & Scholes, 1999; Checkland, 2000), using it as a base for better understanding of EmCP. Barriers that must be overcome before the methodology can be introduced and established, as well as potential benefits, are also discussed.

“…The use of simulations and serious gaming approaches enables the application of an active learning paradigm that engages the learner in what may be defined as a mental contest (Zyda, 2005). Since the 1997 publication of the National Research Council report titled "Modeling and Simulation-Linking Entertainment and Defense" (Zyda & Sheehan, 1997), we have seen several serious games emerge for a variety of domains, including America's Army (http://www.americasarmy.com), SimNavy (Capps, McDowell & Zyda, 2001), and emergency preparedness (Turoff et al, 2006).…”

Historical assessments of combat fratricide reveal principal contributing factors in the effects of stress, degradation of skills due to continuous operations or sleep deprivation, poor situation awareness, and lack of training and discipline in offensive/defense response selection. While these problems are typically addressed in R&D focusing on traditional ground-based combat, there is also an emerging need for improving situation awareness and decision making on defensive/offensive response options in the cyber defense arena, where a mistaken response to an actual or perceived cyber attack could lead to destruction or compromise of friendly cyber assets. The purpose of this report is to examine cognitive factors that may affect cyber situation awareness and describe possible research needs to reduce the likelihood and effects of "friendly cyber fire" on cyber defenses, information infrastructures, and data. The approach is to examine concepts and methods that have been described in research applied to the more traditional problem of mitigating the occurrence of combat identification and fratricide. Application domains of interest include cyber security defense against external or internal (insider) threats.
