CALL FOR PAPERS
17th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis
Response
and Management (ISCRAM 2020)
May 24-27, 2020, Virginia, USA
https://www.drrm.fralin.vt.edu/iscram2020/
Track: Geospatial Technologies and Geographic Information Science
for
Crisis Management (GIS)
https://www.drrm.fralin.vt.edu/iscram2020/files/CFP/ISCRAM2020-Geospatial_Technologies_and_GIS.pdf
Deadline for paper submissions: December 6, 2019
* Track Description
With disasters and disaster management being an “inherently
spatial”
problem, geospatial information and technologies have been widely
employed
for supporting disaster and crisis management. This includes SDSS
and GIS
architectures, VGI, spatial databases, spatial- temporal methods,
as well
as geovisual analytics technologies, which have a great potential
to build
risk map, estimate damaged areas, define evacuation routes, and
plan
resource distribution. Collaborative platforms like OSM have been
also
employed to support disaster management (e.g., near real-time
mapping).
Nevertheless, all these geospatial big data pose new challenges
for not
only geospatial data visualization, but also data modeling and
analysis;
existing technologies, methodologies, and approaches now have to
deal with
data shared in various formats, different velocities, and
uncertainties.
Furthermore, new issues have been also emerging in urban computing
and
smart cities for making communities more resilient against
disasters. In
line with this year’s conference theme, the GIS Track particularly
welcomes
submissions addressing aspects of individual-centric geospatial
information
in disaster risk and crisis research. This includes SDSS,
near-real-time
mapping, situational awareness, VGI, spatiotemporal modeling,
urban
computing, and other related aspects. We seek conceptual,
theoretical,
technological, methodological, empirical contributions, as well as
research
papers employing different methodologies, e.g., design- oriented
research,
case studies, and action research. Solid student contributions are
welcome.
Track topics are therefore focused on but not limited to the
following list.
1. Geospatial data analytics for crisis management
2. Location-based services and technologies for crisis management
3. Geospatial ontology for crisis management
4. Geospatial big data in the context of disaster and crisis
management
5. Geospatial linked data for crisis management
6. Urban computing and geospatial aspects of smart cities for
crisis
management
7. Spatial Decision Support Systems for crisis management
8. Individual-centric geospatial information
9. Remote sensing for crisis management
10. Geospatial intelligence for crisis management
11. Spatial data management for crisis management
12. Spatial data infrastructure for crisis management
13. Geovisual analytics for crisis management
14. Spatial-temporal modeling in disaster and crisis context
15. Crisis mapping and geovisualization
16. Collaborative disaster mapping
17. Public policies for geospatial information
18. Empirical case studies
