Usability and Public Safety Communications Research

Ongoing
First responders in public safety respond to emergency incidents to serve and protect their communities. The voices of first responders have often not been taken into consideration, especially when technology is developed for them but not with them. The National Institute of Standards and Technology

Usability Testing

Ongoing
Usability testing refers to evaluating a product by testing it with representative users performing representative tasks. The goal is to identify any usability problems by collecting quantitative (e.g., time on task, errors and successful completion rates) and qualitative (e.g., comments, likes or

High Performance Computing

Ongoing
Current HPC technology broadly consists of: Leadership systems, such as the Department of Energy INCITE systems. Production Systems, such as clusters We work on both types of systems. For example, our work on the Rheology or Flow Properties of Concrete (see pages 15-16 in the latest INCITE report)
A network of 629 papers co-authored by chemist A.W. Castleman.

Impact Metrics

Ongoing
In response to h-index requests from NIST management and staff, Library staff provide comprehensive publication analysis studies and reports that ensure the h-index is put in proper context as one of several ways to assess the impact of an individual or group. The Library can also compile non
