This event brings together researchers, students, and practitioners working in the area of information systems and crisis management. It provides an excellent opportunity to exchange information and knowledge on new research and discuss best practices. The overarching theme for ISCRAM 2018 is Visualizing Crisis, which aims at the interdisciplinary development and design of information systems that enable better crisis planning, response, mitigation, recovery, and training by using integrated approaches that combine organizational, behavioral, technical, economic, and environmental aspects through visual representation and reasoning.
