HERMES: Collaboration and Knowledge Interoperability in Maritime Interdiction Operations
Abstract
Tactical teams need tools to support their collaboration and help coordinate their workflow. The HERMES solution consists of two major elements: 1) the SLATE spatial messaging collaboration tool and 2) a new concept called Workflow Coordinating Representations (WCRs) that supports task management and distributed workflow. SLATE imports mission documents, such as maps, images, and timelines, and allows users to share annotations on those documents. WCRs provide a communal representation of distributed group tasks, such as biometric analysis, where all operators can share information, and comment on the on-going activity. Phase II of the project consisted of a spiral process of design, development, evaluation, and transition. Along the way, empirical scientific tests of the design contributed to our theoretical understanding of small, distributed team collaboration and support technology.
