GDACSmobile

Information exchange and coordination support after sudden-onset disasters.

The GDACSmobile project is a cooperation of the Information Systems Department of the University of Münster and the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) set by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission. The goal of the project is to create a mobile application (collectively referred to as "GDACSmobile") for information exchange and coordination support in the first phase after a major sudden-onset disaster.

To accomplish this goal, GDACSmobile will be implemented for a selected number of mobile platforms. The client will be supported by a server application which is responsible for data retrieval, storage and analysis while the client is primarily used for accessing content and sharing/updating information. In this context, the development team is mainly compromised of project seminar participants at the Chair for Information Systems and Supply Chain Management (University of Münster) while professional support concerning requirements, preconditions and restrictions is provided by the JRC.
