Intelligent Algorithms to Aid Disaster Management

After a disaster such as flooding or an earthquake, many people want to help. In order to quickly coordinate the assistance and use it in the most targeted way possible, a new project financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) was launched in January.  Paderborn University is collaborating with its partners T-Systems (coordinator), Fraunhofer FOKUS, and others on digital solutions to coordinate volunteer helpers.
