Therefore, it is even more essential nowadays to enable citizens to have a rapid and flexible access to information on the prevention or restoration measures in cases of flood, on the basis of the cutting edge advances of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The paper contains a description of a real-time Web application and service for water level observation, processing, presentation and a short term prediction of a river water level in the area of interest. The Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are implemented for cost-effective water level prediction for a short horizon. On the whole, the Web applications and services should form a part of a publicly accessible Web based flood crisis management system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtBrueggemannHolz, author = {Hildebrandt, Gerald and Br{\"u}ggemann, Bernhard Markus and Holz, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Distributed Research and Education Platforms in Engineering - Experience from Hydroengineering Examples}, series = {European perspectives on computer-supported collaborative learning, proceedings of the first European conference on computer-supported collaborative learning, March 22-24, 2001, Universiteit Maastricht, the Netherlands}, booktitle = {European perspectives on computer-supported collaborative learning, proceedings of the first European conference on computer-supported collaborative learning, March 22-24, 2001, Universiteit Maastricht, the Netherlands}, editor = {Dillenbourg, Pierre}, isbn = {90-5681-097-9}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtHolz, author = {Hildebrandt, Gerald and Holz, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Hydroengineering Web Services: Sharing Business Processes over the Internet}, series = {Advances in hydro-science and -engineering, volume V, proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Hydro-Science and -Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Warsaw, Poland, September 18 -20, 2002}, booktitle = {Advances in hydro-science and -engineering, volume V, proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Hydro-Science and -Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Warsaw, Poland, September 18 -20, 2002}, address = {Warschau}, isbn = {83-90617-77-3}, abstract = {A new computing paradigm known as Web Services is quickly gathering momentum in companies ICT.

The establishment of "virtual laboratories" including application of Internet based project platforms, distributed team work and collaboration methods require new kinds of soft skills, knowledge and experience and a new "technological culture" to be generated just by doing - a task for education, training and profession in Hydro-Informatics. This is a challenge for the European dimension, where in future experts and engineers from different countries with different languages, different mentalities as well as different specialization and professional experience have to collaborate in research, teaching and practice. Training of collaborating in such new environment is the challenge of the courses HydroWeb and HydroEurope which by collaboration of 23 universities world-wide will help to establish common high quality university teaching courses and establish links between students from the involved countries. The students are solving a given environmental engineering task in distributed teams in the Internet. The students acquired in this course experience in interdisciplinary team work, net based project co-ordination and Web based reporting. They strengthened their social competence to collaborate in heterogeneous teams with members of different habits, nationalities, ages, educational backgrounds. The described experiment might be the basis to introduce Web based collaborative engineering in the regular course programme of water-environment related curricula at universities.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HolzHildebrandt, author = {Holz, Klaus-Peter and Hildebrandt, Gerald}, title = {Virtual Laboratories - Some Considerations from Practical Experience}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HildebrandtHolz, author = {Hildebrandt, Gerald and Holz, Klaus-Peter}, title = {Web- and SMS-based Public Flood Warning Services by Neural Networks}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HolzHildebrandtMerting, author = {Holz, Klaus-Peter and Hildebrandt, Gerald and Merting, Frank}, title = {Hydro-Europe: Web based Collaborative Learning in Water-Engineering}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HolzHildebrandtWeber, author = {Holz, Klaus-Peter and Hildebrandt, Gerald and Weber, Lars}, title = {Decision Support Potential of Internet based Systems for Flood Management}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberHildebrandtBazartseren, author = {Weber, Lars and Hildebrandt, Gerald and Bazartseren, Bunchingiv}, title = {Elemente eines web-basierten Hochwasserinformationssystems}, abstract = {Extreme Flugereignisse der letzten Jahre haben gezeigt, wie bedeutend die Organisation und ein st{\"o}rungsfreier Informationsfluß bei Katastrophen sind.
