1B: Demand modeling and generation
These research activities aim at automatically generating the demands based on the analysis of disaster and emergency situation analysis.
Examples of research topics are:
Demand modeling for a large set of kinds (rescue, repair, fire fighters, health services, proDtection, evacuation, food distribution, shelter providing, etc.)
Demand detection in predefined or unanticipated emergent conditions
Modeling demand and supply processes for each kind
Interpreting (input) data and inferring needs for demands
Disaster and emergency demand ontologies
Stream processing, complex event processing
Gathering data for improved demand generation
Machine learning techniques in improving the effectiveness and efficiency in demand generation
Grouping of demands
Prioritization of demands
Online management of varying disaster and emergency conditions
Techniques for demand management: efficient processing, storing, querying of demands
Extensibility and maintainability of demand management systems
Standardization of demand models and interfaces of demand management systems
