testing have been performed by two experts in
human-computer interaction and software
engineering. The usability problems emerged in this
preliminary evaluation have been solved and
programming bugs are being fixed. We are currently
organizing a systematic evaluation of the application
through an experiment with COSP volunteers.
As far as future work is concerned, we are
studying the integration in FirstAidMap of more
advanced EUD functionalities, such as the
possibility for users to create new information
levels. We are also re-engineering the application to
make it flexible enough to be easily adaptable to
other application domains. A portable version of
FirstAidMap to be used inside ambulances, endowed
with a real-time data updating based on a Global
Positioning System (GPS), is under study.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors wish to thank the volunteers of COSP–
Mazzano for their collaboration. We are also
grateful to Francesca Facchetti e Paolo Melchiori for
their contribution to the prototype design and
implementation. Finally, we would like to thank
Maddalena Germinario and Annamaria Percivalli for
the usability evaluation and code testing of the
version of the application presented in this paper.
