Distributed Data and Information Management for Crisis Forecasting and Management

Crises forecasting and management require different kinds of information (management) processes. In this publication, we give an introduction into Coalition Shared Data (CSD), which is a concept of standardized information distribution, and describe means for its integration into a more comprehensive high level system architecture. Our publication intends to stimulate the potential use of the respective findings in the field of crisis prediction and management. To this aim, we put also particular emphasis on visual analytics approaches for integrating automated data analyses and interactive data visualizations to offer more insights into complex data and information.
