-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: Quaternary Special Issue "Disaster Modeling and Management" Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 13:00:51 +0000 From: Mahdi Najafabadi Mahdi.Najafabadi@sph.cuny.edu To: aisworld@lists.aisnet.org aisworld@lists.aisnet.org
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your Agent-Based and Artificial Intelligence Models to the Quaternary Special Issue on the "Disaster and Emergency Management"https://www.mdpi.com/si/88042 (ISSN 2571-550X).
The prime goals of disaster and emergency management (DEM) are to save lives and protect communities and their assets and the environment from natural, technological, and human-made disasters. DEM planning and operations at the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases can be empowered by advances in new methodologies and technologies. Emerging and growing agent-based modeling (ABM) and artificial intelligence (AI) and their combinations can help professionals, decision makers, and operators to achieve DEM goals better, faster, and more equitably.
This issue aims to demonstrate:
1. how ABM and AI can change the way we understand, identify, model, assess, and manage risks associated with different natural, technological, and human-made hazards; 2. how ABM and AI can enhance individual, community, national, and global preparedness against large hazardous events; 3. how ABM and AI can be used to assist emergency management agencies and organizations in responding to major disaster events; and 4. how ABM and AI can support disaster relief, short-term and long-term recovery, and reconstruction efforts.
We are looking for papers that answer one or a combination of the above questions using agent-based modeling, artificial intelligence, or a combination of the two.
Deadline for manuscript submissions is 31st October 2021. For more information, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/si/88042
