CALL FOR PAPERS
15th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response
and Management (ISCRAM 2018)
May 20-23, 2018, Rochester, NY, USA
https://iscram2018.rit.edu/submissions
Track: Geospatial Technologies and Geographic Information Science for
Crisis Management (GIS)
https://iscram2018.rit.edu/sites/rit.edu.iscram2018/files/
docs/ISCRAM_2018_track_GIS.pdf
Deadline for paper submissions: January 21, 2018
* 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 geovisualization in disaster risk and
crisis research. This includes SDSS, near-real-time mapping, situational
awareness, VGI, spatio-temporal 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 for crisis management
    3. Location-based technologies for crisis management
    4. Geospatial ontology for crisis management
    5. Geospatial big data in the context of disaster and crisis management
    6. Geospatial linked data for crisis management
    7. Urban computing and geospatial aspects of smart cities for crisis
  management
    8. Spatial Decision Support Systems for crisis management
    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. Crowdsourcing and VGI in the context disaster and crisis management
    17. Spatial analysis of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for crisis management
    18. Spatial analysis of social media messages in the context of crisis
   management
    19. Interoperability aspects regarding disaster-related geodata
