Report on C4i Study: Brunel Command Wall Design Recommendations
Abstract
This document reports on the design recommendations for the C4i Brunel Command Wall System as at March 2006. The process of review, of which this report is a part, is ongoing, and follows the completion of two empirical studies carried out using the system. The recommendations are derived from the following:
- the results and limitations identified in earlier studies
- participants’ comments
- the experimenters own observations
- and the Critical Decision Method (CDM) interviews undertaken during the studies.
The aim of this report, therefore, is:
- To extract and summarise any improvements that could inform the next iteration of the Brunel Command Wall System.
- To describe the empirically derived responses to the limitations identified in the previous studies.
The recommendations are grouped under two headings: refinements to the study and usability of the system. Refinements to the study are concerned with methods, procedures and outcomes. They form the response strategy for how future studies are to be conducted. Usability of the system is concerned with developing responses that could inform the evidence-based design of future iterations of the system.
