2nd International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM'2015)
About:
The International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM’2015) aims to bring together academics and practitioners who are involved in emergency services, ad hoc planning, disaster recovery, etc., to learn about the latest research developments, share experiences and information about this area and develop recommendations.
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on using ICTs for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery of disasters. There will also be invited presentations by experts from academia, industry, and government as well as special sessions dedicated to case studies, demonstrations and experiences based on pragmatic approaches. This way, the conference will provide a forum for supporting and encouraging both academic researchers, as well as practitioners involved in applied‐focused research.
Topics of interest include:
- Communication infrastructures, technologies and services for crisis management
- Internet of things for disaster and emergency management
- Smart cities for disaster and emergency management
- Data/information management and analysis for disaster management
- Querying and filtering on heterogeneous, multi-source streaming disaster data
- Big data analytics in disaster management
- Social media and networks
- Coordination, collaboration and decision support technologies and systems for disaster management
- Risk, damage and loss assessment
- Modelling and simulation tools for crisis and disaster situations
- Geo-Information technologies for disaster management
- Remote sensing
- Web mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
- Open source data and space based resources to support disaster management
