current and cutting-edge research exploring and extending our
understanding of the use of information systems and information
technology to support responses to crises of all kinds—accidental,
intentional, and acts of nature. It includes issues that are technical,

evaluation of IS technologies and methodologies to support crisis
response and management. These can be revealed though quantitative,
qualitative, or case-based methods.
Possible Topics include:
* Command and control for crisis management

* Application of emerging technologies, e.g., blockchain, internet of
things (IoT), smart cities, etc.
* Big data analytics, data fusion, modeling, representation, and
visualization
* Decision making and judgment
* Research methods, and modeling approaches
* Rescue, recovery, and humanitarian operations
* Information systems strategy and operations, infrastructures, and
interoperability
* Disaster risk reduction, risk management, ad-hoc, and sensor networks
* Early warning and emergency response systems, including reactions to
those systems
* Unanticipated challenges and responses
* Positive vs. negative outcomes
* Geographical information systems
* Globalization and development issues
