ISCRAM2010: 7th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management
DEFINING CRISIS MANAGEMENT 3.0
May 2-5 2010
Crown Plaza Hotel
Seattle, Washington USA
Just over another couple of weeks to submit short papers, discussions and practitioner reports. We already have over 80 full research papers submitted to and under review for ISCRAM2010. Alongside their presentation of completed work and new findings we are anxious to have a number of shorter work-in-progress papers, practitioner reports, discussions, panels and other presentations that will stimulate wide discussion and shape future thinking. You have until January 18th to submit these. If you have ideas or suggestions that you wish to discuss please email us on iscram2010@iscram.org.
UPDATE
Submission of work-in-progress, discussions, and practitioner papers remains open until January 18th 2010.
When submission of full research papers closed at the end of November, over 80 papers had been submitted and these are now going through full double-blind, academic peer review. However, ISCRAM conferences are much more than presentations of research results. They are full of vibrant discussion and networking opportunities. We are still seeking three types of submission to stimulate discussion, focus on practitioner needs and priorities and explore research still in progress:
1. Work in progress and discussion papers.
2. Practitioner reports and discussions which raise issues, examples and case studies, examples of best practices, improvements, and significant insights or examples.
3. Demonstrations.
** NOTE ** if anyone wishes to discuss ideas for a discussion paper or panel before submitting their proposal on the submission site, please email iscram2010@iscram.org
Full details of the calls are available at www.iscram.org.
There is also a call for participation in the doctoral colloquium: see www.iscram.org.
Submissions should be made through www.conftool.com/ISCRAM2010.
ISCRAM conferences present the latest findings from academia and the field on the design, development, implementation, use and evaluation of information systems in the domain of crisis management and response, through a unique program of academic research, practitioner cases and technology demonstrations, with plenty of opportunity for discussion and social events. As always the conference will be multi-disciplinary drawing together perspectives from across all socio-technological domains. Human behaviours are as important to us as the technologies that enable us to
share information and situation assessments quickly and in increasing volumes. The theme for ISCRAM2010 is Defining Crisis Management 3.0. Our aim is to look forward at the conference and consider how our rapidly changing technologies may change the way that we respond to crises in our ever more interconnected world. While we particularly solicit papers, discussions, case studies and demonstrations emphasising the conference theme, we welcome papers covering all aspects of information systems for crisis response and management.
Further details of ISCRAM2010, as they become clear, will be published on http://www.iscram.org and through its discussion and mailing lists.
We look forward to seeing you in Seattle!!
