Strategy and Optimization

The increasing availability of data and up-to-date information offers public authorities and companies new opportunities to optimize their processes. For this, however, solutions are required that can quickly and effectively process large amounts of data and cope with domain-specific problems.

The department focuses on research topics in civil security and hazard control, business process analysis and infrastructure management. The team develops innovative optimization methods and algorithms, and designs and implements complex systems for practical use. A major objective is providing decision support for the optimized planning and control of resources. 

The department‘s interdisciplinary team, which includes computer scientists, mathematicians, and geoscientists, collaborates very closely with end users.
