beAWARE together with IReact and ANYWHERE are organising the 1st International Workshop on Intelligent Crisis Management Technologies for climate events – ICMT – in May 20th, 2018 in conjunction with the 15th International Conference on Information systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM). ICMT welcomes novel research work that deals with new technologies to support rapid and efficient response to and management of the climate disasters including (but not limited to) fires, floods and heatwaves. The objective of the workshop is twofold:
- First, the workshop aims at presenting the most recent methods for forecasting, early warning, collection, processing, and transmission of the emergency data, analysis of multimodal data and coordination between the first responders and the authorities.
- Second, it aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers, both from crisis management and technical domains, to share ideas and experiences in designing and implementing novel intelligent techniques and tools to support crisis management.
All the workshop papers will be included in the main conference proceedings.
