  - "Volunteer supporters play an important role in modern crisis and disaster management.
    In the times of mobile Internet devices, help from thousands of volunteers can
    be requested within a short time span, thus relieving professional helpers from
    minor chores or geographically spread-out tasks. However, the simultaneous availability
    of many volunteers also poses new problems. In particular, the volunteer efforts
    must be well coordinated, or otherwise situations might emerge in which too many
    idle volunteers at one location become more of a burden than a relief to the professionals.\r\nIn
    this work, we study the task of optimally assigning volunteers to selected locations,
    e.g. in order to perform regular measurements, to report on damage, or to distribute
    information or resources to the population in a crisis situation. We formulate
    the assignment tasks as an optimization problem and propose an effective and efficient
    solution procedure. Experiments on real data of the Team Österreich, consisting
    of over 36,000 Austrian volunteers, show the effectiveness and efficiency of our
    approach.@eng"
