Abstract :
Designing pervasive computing for hostile environments is challenging, because it´s difficult to assess the many design options and their implications. To help address this issue, the authors developed the FireSim experience-prototyping approach. They report on FireSim studies of the LifeNet navigation system for firefighters.
