GEOSAFE Workshop on Robust Solutions for Fire Fighting, July 19-20, 2018, L'Aquila, Italy

RSFF (Robust Solutions for Fire Fighting), is an international workshop that intends to be a platform of exchange between researchers and practitioners interested in emergency management, in particular bushfires. The workshop welcomes participation of researchers from the area of algorithms and practitioners both working on emergency management issues.

The main focus of the workshop is robustness, seen as an approach to simplifying and securing solutions with the aim of making processes less affected by disruptions.

The workshop is organized within the Work Package WP3 of the European Project GEOSAFE (H2020-MSCA-RISE project n. 691161).
