2021 Workshop on AI & Simulation for Natural Disaster Management

The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and simulation may contribute to the advance of natural disaster management. AI tools and simulation models, however, have to embed the required features and capabilities in order to be useful on real-world situations. Hence, the collaboration with field experts and policy-makers in the natural disaster domain becomes essential. The workshop aims to gather together and build a community of researchers, disaster responders, and policy-makers interested in developing and applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and simulation techniques for natural disaster management. This workshop is relevant because it will help to create a bridge between technology experts and disaster management practitioners aligning their understand, interpretation, and expectations of each other enabling an environment for the exchange of ideas. The workshop will be composed of a set of…
