SCOPE:

ICT-DM’2016 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 Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on using ICTs for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery of disasters.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, but are not limited to, the following scope:

· Big data analytics in disaster management

· Communication infrastructures, technologies and services for crisis management

· Coordination, collaboration and decision support technologies for disaster management

· Data/information management and analysis for disaster management

· Evacuation and rescue geo-planning

· Geo-Information technologies for disaster management

· Internet of things for disaster and emergency management

· M2M communications management and operations

· Mobile and wireless communication networks

· Prediction and early warning systems

· Querying and filtering on heterogeneous, multi-source streaming disaster data

· Smart cities for disaster and emergency management

· Social media and networks

· Other related topics in the domain of ICT-DM
