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.
