Abstract
Usability is a very important issue that affects the effectiveness and success of systems. Such importance becomes particularly critical when systems are complex, and when the accuracy and timeliness of operation is decisive to the system outputs. Naturally, the usability of decision support systems used for emergency management is of utmost relevance. The present paper addresses a usability study performed to the Portuguese Navy SINGRAR system.
