Submission deadline | July 15, 2017 |
ICT-DM’2017 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. 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.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original unpublished research on using ICTs for detection, prevention, preparation, response and recovery of disasters. Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed eight-pages (10-point font). Papers should follow the IEEE formatting rules.
