Time critical environments require good team cooperation and inter-reliance.
Some people are not made to work in time critical environments.
However, in a non-time-critical environment, this option can significantly prolong the operation time of mobile devices.
Critical decisions which influence the sustainability of a construction project are made in a pressurised, time-critical environment.
Managing a disaster response involves rapid monitoring and evaluation due to the time-critical environment in which emergency relief efforts take place.
In a bar, bartenders must act in a highly dynamic, asynchronous and time-critical environment, and no obvious greedy strategy (such as serving the best customer first, serving the nearest customer first or serving the first-arriving customer first) gives good results.
We chose an ED setting because it offered the potential to appreciate attitudes to NPs in a dynamic, time-critical environment which could shed light on their roles.
These results have implications for interface design that could be adopted in similar time-critical environments such as air-traffic control, process control, and first responders.
▪Report generation involves graphics, complete reports, subspaces, etc. Being able to produce reports fast is important in relation to time-critical environments and frequent briefing summaries (which otherwise take up too much valuable investigation time).
In this article, we introduce periodic team synchronization (PTS) domains as time-critical environments in which agents act autonomously with low communication, but in which they can periodically synchronize in a full-communication setting.
This chapter will summarize the book's topics and strategy, including the emphasis on top-down approach, layered systematic problem solving, and the use of industry methodologies and statistics, as well as the real business constraints in time-critical environments such as Intel's design world.
