[Chihab Hanachi]

Hi,

Just to inform you of the following CFP : Information Systems for Crisis 
Response and Management in Mediterranean countries(ISCRAM med 2014).

Best,
Chihab HANACHI.

  FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------------
ISCRAM-Med 2014:
Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management
in Mediterranean countries

http://irit.fr/ISCRAMMED2014
Conference Dates: Oct 15-17 2014
Toulouse France

OBJECTIVE AND TOPICS
--------------------
The aim of ISCRAM-Med is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in the area of Information
Systems for Crisis Response and Management and especially on
Mediterranean crisis. Indeed, many crises have
occurred in recent years around the Mediterranean Sea. For instance, we
can mention political crisis such
as Arabic Spring (Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, ...), economic crisis in Spain
and Greece, earthquake in Italy,
fires in France and Spain, riots in French suburbs or even the explosion
of chemical plant AZF in Toulouse.
Some of them even had a domino effect on others.
Also, the shared history between the Mediterranean countries and common
geo-political issues led to solidarity
among peoples and cross-country military interventions. This observation
demonstrates the importance of considering
some of these crises in this region at a Mediterranean level rather than
as isolated phenomena.

Topics include but are not limited to:
- Analytical Modelling and Simulation
- Social Media Observation
- Crisis Ontology
- Community Engagement in Crisis Informatics Research
- Command and Control Studies
- Decision Support Systems
- Disaster Relief Supply Chain Management
- Information System Interoperability and Inter-organizational issues
- Ethical, Legal and Social Issues of IT Supported Emergency Response
- Geographic Information Science
- Humanitarian Information Systems
- Intelligent Systems
- Planning, Foresight and Risk Analysis
- Practitioner Cases and Practitioner-Centered Research
- Serious Games for Crisis Management
- Visual Analytics for Crisis Management

CONTRIBUTIONS
-------------
All paper submissions must make a new and significant contribution to
the body of knowledge on information systems for emergency management,
support their contribution with valid arguments, and be clearly
structured and well written. ISCRAM-Med 2014 invites two categories of
papers:

- Research papers presenting valid, original, relevant cutting edge
research that will
be reviewed to the highest academic standards. Reviewing will pay
additional attention
to the application of the related scientific literature and theory, to
the use of an appropriate
research methodology, and to technical, mathematical and statistical
correctness.
- Demo papers presenting new developments in emergency management and
policy making,
discussing approaches, methods, tools, (best) practices and standards.
These papers should focus on practical issues and concerns and raise
challenges for future research,
and will be reviewed to the highest practice-oriented standards.

All papers (up to 12 pages LNCS style) should be written in English and
submitted electronically
in PDF format through the easychair conference system
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iscrammed2014

Every submitted paper will be evaluated by at least three members of the
program committee.
An ISBN number for the proceedings will be available and the papers will
be indexed by DBLP.
