Torben Wiedenhöfer studierte Wirtschaftsinformatik an der Universität Siegen und University of Tulsa (USA). Während des Studiums beschäftige er sich bereits mit der benutzerorientierten Softwareentwicklung und -etablierung in Uni- und Industrieprojekten. In seiner Diplomarbeit entwickelte er zusammen mit Gunnar Stevens ein neues communitybasiertes- und kontextsensitives Hilfesystem zur Unterstützung des Aneignungsprozesses von komplexen Systemen.
Torben Wiedenhöfer ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Universität Siegen im Bereich Wirtschaftsinformatik und Neue Medien. In Forschungsprojekten z.B. mit der SAP AG oder RWE befasst er sich mit Usability-, Requirements-Engeneering und End-User Development. Die Ergebnisse aus diesen Arbeiten werden auch in seine Dissertation mit einfließen.

  Major electricity breakdowns like the Northeast Blackout (USA) in 2003 or the blackout in most parts of Western Europe in 2005, have shown the fundamental role of electricity in our everyday life. The experiences of these accidents show that power suppliers, firefighters, police, county administration and citizens face multifarious challenges in inter-organizational communication, information and coordination processes during coping and recovery work. In this work-in-progress paper we describe early research dealing with inter-organizational issues in emergency management (EM). We are mainly focusing on supporting social practices in inter-organizational EM, for example collaborative interpretation of emergency situations, ad-hoc coordination or supporting citizen communication and helping routines. Identified from our experiences from related projects, discussions and literature studies, we suggest potential questions and future topics in user-driven software engineering processes for EM and domain specific problems, such as supporting citizen participation, coping with information uncertainties and quality variations or enhancing inter-organizational learning.
