The website for submissions is now open at https://www.conftool.com/iscram2010/ Note that the website for online registration will be available shortly. Also there is a new call for demonstrations available here. CALL FOR PAPERS 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. As always the conference will be multidisciplinary 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. While we particularly solicit papers emphasising the conference theme, we welcome papers covering all aspects of information systems for crisis response and management. The full call for papers is available here and a MS Word template and details of the ISCRAM housestyle are available here.
