Geographic Information Science & Technology (GIS & T) for Crisis Response and Management paper track description:
TRACK: Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS &T) for Crisis Response and Management
Introduction of the track:
World-wide use and awareness of mapping technology and spatial thinking for problem solving in crisis management continues to proliferate. Maps are longer being used to just answer “where and when?” questions during a crisis but in addition, are helping to answer deeper “how and why?” questions. Research communities, NGOs and private-sector companies such as the CrisisMappers, UN Global Pulse, Open Street Map, Map Action, Esri and others continue to demonstrate innovative ways in which location, geography, visual representation and spatial relationships are fundamental to crisis response and management. In this track we invite researchers and practitioners working at the intersections of Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS &T) and crisis management to present novel, cutting edge basic and applied research and system demonstrations. We are particularly interested in student research to foster the next generation of GIS & T scholars and practitioners.
Track topics:
Track topics include are but not limited to:
- Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Crisis Management Case Studies
- Indoor spatial awareness
- Crisis Mapping and Crowdsourced Mapping
- Common Operational Picture Systems
- Crises response team as a field sensor
- Localization (GPS, Galileo, Glonass, RFID, other)
- Spatial Data Infrastructures
- Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and Crisis Management
- Novel Uses of Geospatial Technologies (hardware, software, and applications)
- Advanced Geographic Visualization
- Geovisual Analytics (e.g. supporting analytical reasoning)
- Geocollaboration
- Web 2.0 Mapping Technologies (e.g., mapping mashup development, case studies)
- Virtual Globes and Crisis Management (e.g., Google Earth, NASA WorldWind)
- Spatial Modeling (e.g. spatiotemporal, agent based modeling, 3D models, indoor, etc.)
- Geospatial databases (schema’s, update, analyses, data collection)
- Spatial Decision Support Systems
- Standards and system interoperability
- Geodata quality.

Type of submissions
ISCRAM2013 is soliciting three types of submission:
1. Full research papers, which will be double blind peer reviewed. It is intended that these will report completed work which can be assessed to the highest academic standards. Such papers should be no more than 10 pages with figures & tables (~5000 words)
2. Work in progress and discussion paper which will be subjected to a light peer review to ensure clarity. Such papers should be no more than 5 pages with figures & tables (~2500 words)
3. Practitioner reports and discussions which raise issues, examples and case studies of importance in responding to and managing crises. These submissions will be subject to a light peer review to ensure clarity. Such papers should be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (maximum two pages, ~ 1200 words). All practitioner reports should be submitted via the dedicated “Practitioner report track”.
Note that the designation of the paper and its reviewing will be indicated in the conference proceedings. Also we are not trying to create some concept of first and second quality papers. Rather we are aware that some report finished work which can be assessed in the sense of full peer review and contribution to research, while others offer ideas and thoughts which will stimulate discussion at ISCRAM conferences. The latter are vital if we are to make the conference valuable for shaping our subject.

About ISCRAM:
The ISCRAM Community is a worldwide community of researchers, scholars, teachers, students, practitioners and policy makers interested or actively involved in the subject of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management. At its annual international conference alternating between the US and Europe, the ISCRAM Community gathers to present and discuss the latest research and developments in this growing area during an interactive and stimulating 3 day program. The ISCRAM Community also organizes an International Summer School for PhD students and ISCRAM-CHINA, an annual conference for ISCRAM research in China.
