Subject: [TC-Announce] Extended deadline: ISCRAM Workshop: Geospatial ICT
     Support for Crisis Management and Response

DEADLINE EXTENDED: February, 22nd!

ISCRAM 2015 Half-day Workshop, May 24, 2015

Geospatial ICT Support for Crisis Management and Response

Call for participation

Efficient crisis response and management requires well-informed actors and stakeholders and
effective means for communication and policy enforcement. A secure and dependable geospatial
information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure may be an indispensable aid if it
is tailored to the needs of the respective risk and crisis management phases and the various
users. 

During an ISCRAM 2015 workshop experts of the risk and crisis management community will meet
software architects and engineers of the geospatial domain. It shall launch a discussion forum
between ISCRAM and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), especially its Emergency and Disaster
Management (EDM) domain working group.

You are invited to contribute to this workshop by providing a one page scenario description out
of the crisis and response management domain which will finally be entered into a use case
server. The scenario shall be written from a user’s and/or stakeholder’s point of view, but
motivate and claim an urgent and challenging need for geospatial ICT support exceeding current
capabilities in terms of functionality or quality. Furthermore, the scenario shall identify the
actors, their roles, the geographic and temporal scope as well as the type of disaster.

A maximum of five authors will be selected to present and discuss their scenarios at the
workshop. ICT experts of the geospatial domain will present existing service and data model
capabilities. A facilitated discussion will identify the requirements and map them to future ICT
capabilities in the light of emerging technological trends.

Interested representatives of both communities may participate to the workshop also without
submission of a scenario. 

NEW Deadline for submissions:                 22 February 2015

Notification of acceptance:                           2 March 2015.
