The 5th International Conference on Information and Communication Technologies for Disaster Management (ICT-DM’2018) 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 Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on using ICTs for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery of disasters.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.
The presented papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:
Big data analytics in disaster management
Cloud computing, context-aware computing, mobile computing
Communication infrastructures, technologies and services
Coordination, collaboration and decision support technologies
Crowd sourcing, remote sensing, cyber-physical systems
Data/information mining and management from multiple information
and huge sources
Disaster relief logistics, E-governance, evacuation and rescue geoplanning
Internet of things for disaster and emergency management
Interoperability of heterogeneous systems
