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
