This proposed project will design, develop, deploy, and operate a virtual Emergency Operations Center (vEOC) for (1) primary use as a research instrument, but with (2) secondary use for training and education. The vEOC, named Ensayo, will enable research on dynamic decision-making, individual and group problem solving, organizational learning, communication, coordination, and knowledge management in the context of roles and organizational structures to enable cross-institutional management of disasters. The vEOC will be web-based implemented using open source and open standards software and tools. Little substantive research has been conducted on large scale, emergent management structures. The size and complexity of these emergent structures affords a unique insight into studying the mechanisms (both successful and less successful) of operation, providing a valid substrate to formulate the components of the vEOC. Our initial research has yielded insights into the role that a vEOC could play in this, and other EOC contextsThe fundamental goal of Ensayo is to craft a research instrument that, although based on the elements of a local EOC, can be adapted to reflect a wide variety of EOC forms in order to support research, training and education. One of the collaborating institutions is minority serving, and located where the primary context for this work is important for the well-being of society ? hurricanes and emergency preparedness. Ensayo affords not only a research tool for academics, but also a resource for education, training and policy analysis for communities of practice who engage in any emergency operations event.

该拟议的项目将设计，开发，部署和操作一个虚拟紧急操作中心（VEOC），以（1）作为研究工具的主要用途，但（2）次要用于培训和教育。 VEOC名为Ensayo，将在角色和组织结构的背景下进行有关动态决策，个人和团体问题解决，组织学习，沟通，协调和知识管理的研究，以实现灾难的跨机构管理。 VEOC将是基于Web的，使用开源和打开标准软件和工具实现。大规模的新兴管理结构进行了很少的实质性研究。这些新兴结构的规模和复杂性为研究操作的机制（既成功又不太成功）提供了独特的见解，从而提供了有效的底物来制定VEOC的组件。我们最初的研究已经深入了解了VEOC在此中可以发挥的作用，而其他EOC的背景恩Ensayo的基本目标是制作一种研究工具，尽管基于本地EOC的要素，但可以适应各种EOC形式，以反映各种EOC形式，以支持研究，培训和教育。合作的机构之一就是少数派服务，而这项工作的主要背景对于社会的福祉很重要？飓风和应急准备。 Ensayo不仅为学术界提供了研究工具，还提供了用于参加任何紧急操作活动的实践社区的教育，培训和政策分析的资源。
