FORMATS
KEYNOTESOur Keynote speakers will provide insights on current practices and future trends in crisis and disaster management, ranging from risk visualization and communication, to governance and decision making in large scale disasters.
Plenary Long Paper SessionsThis year, we will invite the speakers of the six best submitted Long Papers to present their work in plenary. We hope that this will foster exchange across the standard tracks, and disciplinary boundaries - and look forward to truly inspiring presentations
Parallel Sessions & Poster SessionsThe papers presented were selected from a pool of more than 300 submitted papers – a record this year! We will assemble parallel and poster sessions to foster discussion and showcase the state of the art.
Workshops & TutorialsThe ISCRAM2015 workshops and tutorials provide a means to in depth discuss or hands-on explore emerging topics, such as standardization and interoperability, the role of eHealth in disasters, or ethical and legal issues.
