Collaborative Situation Report Production on Big Wall Displays: the CoSitRepSys

This paper presents the concept for a collaborative situation report production system (hereinafter referred to as CoSitRepSys) being used in situation monitoring centres and crisis management headquarters (hereinafter crisis rooms) equipped with large display areas. We present a concept of a collaborative system that aims at supporting the production of daily bulletin and situation report production or similar workflows. The central feature of the CoSitRepSys is the collaborative editing of reports and a broad applicability on big wall displays of varying size. The whole system uses just a few simple interaction patterns. There are two separate areas: one for creating and editing situation reports and another for sifting and review of information sources. The key artefact is the big wall display and the information shown thereon. Besides the present operators also remote team members can control what is displayed by using their personal mobile devices, such as laptops, tablets or smart phones. Web technology and html-based deployment ensures a substantial independence of operating systems.
