	abstract = {In a disaster scenario, first responders must be able to perform multiple
	functions in a coordinated way. At all levels of the task---from
	integrating heterogeneous systems to addressing response tasks and
	allocating resources---responders must be able to make decisions
	in a globally optimal fashion. Automated coordination mechanisms
	can help, but they still face several challenges that researchers
	must address to make them effective and useful. This article discusses
	the application of distributed constraint optimization in disaster
	management coordination.},
