Recent disasters, such as the 2004 Asian tsunami, the 2005 hurricane Katrina or the 2007 forest fire in 
Greece, showed the shortcomings of existing information systems for disaster rescue and recovery. 
In particular, a better preparation for future disaster events as well as an efficient coordination 
of emergency processes short after a disaster is crucial for a successful disaster management.  
The majority of existing groupware system, such as Workflow Management Systems, have in common 
that there is a lack of support for adaptivess. These process-aware information systems are rather 
focused on well-known, static business processes than on highly, dynamic and unforeseen disaster events. 
Our research work aims to provide concepts and techniques for planning, deploying and robust executing 
of process activities and data within the lifecycle of a disaster event.
