CALL FOR PAPERS
19th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM 2022)
"The future vision of large-scale CRISIS management in a post-COVID world"
May 22-25, 2022, Tarbes, France https://iscram2022.enit.fr/
Track: Geospatial Technologies and Geographic Information Science for Crisis Management (GIS) https://iscram2022.enit.fr/Tracks/Track10.pdf
Deadline for Complete Paper (CORE) submissions: December 1, 2021 Deadline for Work in Progress (WiP) submissions: January 25, 2022
** Track Description
With crisis and hazardous events being an "inherently spatial" problem, geospatial information and technologies frequently support disaster and crisis management. This has been further highlighted in response to the current Coronavirus pandemic, which relies extensively on spatial analysis to identify the virus dissemination pathways and fight against the virus propagation. Therefore, geospatial methods and tools - such as Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS), Geographic Information Systems (GIS) architectures, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI), spatial databases, spatialtemporal methods, as well as geovisual analytics technologies - have a great potential to contribute to understanding the geospatial characteristics of a crisis, such as to estimate damaged areas, define evacuation routes, and plan resource distribution. New forms of data such as sensor data, social media, and OpenStreetMap (OSM) have also been employed to support disaster management (e.g., near real-time mapping). Nevertheless, all these geospatial big data pose new challenges for geospatial data visualization and data modeling and analysis. Existing technologies, methodologies, and approaches now have to deal with data shared in various formats, velocities, and uncertainties.
In line with this year's conference theme, the GIS Track particularly welcomes submissions addressing aspects of geospatial information in disaster risk and crisis research, and how this geospatial information should embrace the interdisciplinary nature of crises. This includes exploring bridges between geospatial data science methods and tools and other related fields, including (but not limited to): computing disciplines (e.g., AI and machine learning), social sciences (e.g., socio-spatial aspects of risk and resilience, community resilience, participation, and governance) and humanities (e.g., spatial humanities and spatial digital arts). We seek conceptual, theoretical, technological, methodological, empirical contributions, and research papers employing different methodologies (e.g., design-oriented research, case studies, and action research). Solid student contributions are particularly welcome.
