Dear Oscar,
Below are some sources (2 books and 1 individual) that may be of
interest to you. I would be interested in hearing more about your
workshop. If you have time, please let me know a little more about it.

DECISION MAKING UNDER STRESS
Emerging themes and applications
Edited by Rhona Flin, Aberdeen University, Eduardo Salas, NAWCTSD,
Michael Strwb, ARI and Lynne Martin, Aberdeen University
Description taken from the book:
Decision Making Under Stress presents a state of the art review of
psychological theory, research and practice on decision making in high
pressure and emergency situations. In our high technology society, new
developments are matched by increasing risks. This book focuses on the
experienced decision makers who deal with such risks, principally on
flight decks, at civil emergencies, in industrial settings and military
environments. There is a growing demand for a better understanding of
decision making in critical situations to improve selection, training
and operational performance. The 29 chapters cover a wide range of
perspectives and applications from aviation, the military, industry and
the emergency services. The authors, all international experts in their
field, are based in Research Centres and Universides from Europe, the
Middle East, North America and Australia. Their common interest is in
the theories and methods ofa new research domain called NDM
(naturalistic decision making). The NDM researchers are interested in
decision making in situations characterized by high risk, time
pressure, uncertain goals, ambiguous information and team work. This
volume comprises edited contributions based on the Third International
NDM conference, sponsored by the US Army Research Institute and the US
NavalAir Warfare Centre, which was held in Aberdeen, Scotland in
September 1996. The extent to which the NDM approach can explain and
predict human performance in such settings is a central theme,
discussed with many practical examples and applications. Essential
reading for applied psychologists, pilots, emergency commanders,
military officers, high hazard managers, safety and emergency response
professionals.

2) the book STRESS & HUMAN PERFORMANCE (I believe edited by Driskell &
Salas) has several chapters on many topics dealing around issues in
this area.
3) Gary Klein is an exceptionally established scientist in this area.
A great deal of his work deals with decision making in situations
characterized by uncertainty, high stakes, time-pressure, and stress.
