3.Championship
4.Iterative Improvement
Ad-hoc Adaptation:
	 Tenacious Search
Distributed analysis of imagery for
Search & Rescue
Images put into Amazon.com’s
Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing tool.
Possible hits sent to experts for
review.
Source: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/15-08/ff_jimgray_lost
Champion:
	 none.



Public now believes that this is
easily repeatable.
Iteration:
	 Steve Fossett Search
 Inadequate training for
 volunteers.
 Many false positives.
 People called SAR teams
 directly which hindered
 search.
Anti-Pattern
“In hindsight, I wish it hadn’t been there,
because it didn’t produce a darn thing that was
productive except for being a giant black hole for
energy, time and resources. There may come a
day when this technology is capable of doing
what it says it can deliver, but boy, that’s not
now.”
- Maj. Cynthia Ryan
  http://www.humanitarian.info/2007/11/08/the-perils-of-the-distributed-approach/
New Champions:
	 InternetSAR
New Champions:
	 InternetSAR
“ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are
InternetSAR.org participants to report objects
found in imagery we provide directly to search
authorities. [...] The reason for this policy is that
our systems are set up to manage and filter
reports for search teams and those who bypass
our reporting system can actually impede the
efforts of search teams.”
