Abstract

Usage of activity theory has emerged in other applications in computer science, including human computer interfaces. This paper applies activity theory as a theoretical framework for the analysis of DSS for extreme events. An example, based on computer support on the web for hurricane response, is used to illustrate how activity theory might be applied to extreme events in a decision support system environment.
