Call for Papers and Exhibition


 

 

RIMMA2020 is   t h e   event to discuss current best practice, demands,
innovations and applications in Risk Information Management, especially in
all phases of the disaster management cycle.



This international interdisciplinary Conference on Risk Information
Management, Risk Models, and Applications  will enable sharing of best
operational practices as well as giving space for discussing methodological
as well as technical problems in risk modeling from the information systems
and management point of view.

 

While considering not only data collection and storage, RIMMA2020
discussions comprize the full information management cycle, especially
aiming at turning data into decisions, workflows and actions, and finally
providing management with appropriate retrospective event evaluation based
on complex documentation.

 

The following areas will be of special interest for the conference:  

*         risk information governance and management

*	risk databases, risk information cross-organizational
interoperability, standards development, testbeds
*	risk information processes modelling and applications, services and
service composition/orchestration
*	common operational picture, digital situational awareness
*	cross-disciplinary risk-related information systems with regard to
other UN Instruments requirements (conventions, programs, declarations,
etc.)   
*	cross-domain / cross-program coherence and accountability
*	cross-organizational management, command and control
*	logistics in support of critical situations
*	risk information system structure, components
*	risk-related databases
*	risk and multi-risk cartographic issues
*	risk and risk-model change in time and space, thresholds definition
and consequences
*	risk modeling issues for critical infrastructure (e.g. factories,
railways, highways, pipelines, maritime traffic etc.)
*	disaster management and emergency preparedness, prevention, alert,
response and mitigation 
*	data processing related to risk management issues with special
regard to information system structural aspects and Risk Model Methodology
and implementation
*	documentation, archiving, and open access to risk and disaster
information
*	CBRN-E risks issues for critical infrastructures, citizens, and the
environment 
*	risk communication (decisionmaking, actors, public awareness etc.) 
*	urban / smart city  resilience, risk information and mapping
*	user-/actor-group specific risk management issues 

 

According to the CODATA principles of the broadest interdisciplinary
discourse in the domain of Data for Science and Technology, contributions
are expected from different fields of the science communities, developers
and practitioners to exchange best practices and initiate recommendations
for future research and development.

 

 

RIMMA2020 is organized by CODATA-Germany, The German National Committee to
the International Science Council ISC Committee on Data for Science and
Technolog

Call for Papers
Spatial Cognition and Computation Special Issue
Geographic Information, Human-Computer Interaction, and Navigation

We invite papers to be submitted to a special issue in Spatial Cognition and Computation on Geographic Information, Human-Computer Interaction, and Navigation. Research on navigation, assistive devices providing geographic information, and their role in wayfinding and spatial learning has an extensive history in the spatial, cognitive, and geographic sciences. Opportunities for further research are provided by: (1) the increasing availability of navigation aids, such as global positioning systems (GPS) and GPS-enabled smartphone devices; (2) increasing complexity of these devices; (3) a deeper understanding of how individuals navigate and learn environments using these devices. This special issue aims to bring together perspectives from cognitive psychology, cartography, computer science, human-computer interaction, and geovisualization to answer these open questions.

Everyday we navigate, whether for work, play, or to fulfill basic needs. Often during navigation, people utilize aids that provide geographic information. The availability and complexity of navigation aids have increased over the past two decades now that smartphones and mobile assistance devices are more widely available to the general public. Maps once provided mostly visual information on paper, and yet today many individuals utilize digital maps that they can hear, touch, see, and interact with. Given this increasing complexity, more research is needed to better understand how people utilize these devices and how device design affects navigation.

Researchers across many disciplines have also claimed that GPS devices can degrade navigation and spatial learning. Yet there remain many unanswered questions with important applications given the financial and health costs associated with poor navigation, degraded spatial learning, and loss of navigation skills throughout the lifespan. Additionally, it is crucial to design navigation aids to be accessible to a broad population with varying needs, such as blind and visually impaired individuals. Individual differences in cognitive mapping also suggest a need to adjust presentation of device information to individual users and contexts. Due to these reasons, there is a need for further interdisciplinary research to systematically evaluate user-device interaction, as well as develop and apply cognitive theories to support navigation with these devices.

Topics of interest for the special issue include (but are not limited to):
• How navigation assistive device, content, or cartographic design elements affect navigation or spatial learning
• The effects of heads-up displays and maps in virtual or augmented reality on navigation behavior and outcomes
• The cognitive neuroscience of navigation assistive device use
• How navigation aid use might be affecting spatial cognitive abilities throughout the lifespan. Are GPS devices really causing poorer spatial learning and navigational outcomes, long-term? Are they changing the mobility of children and older adults?
• Implementation and study of multimodal navigation aids to increase accessibility and understanding of multisensory integration to support navigation. How do we design devices to support a broad range of users and increase accessibility?
• Can the way in which people utilize navigation devices tell us about basic navigation processes or individual differences in these processes?
• Displays are becoming increasingly dynamic and responsive to individual users. How does varying display information based on user characteristics (e.g. navigation ability) or user states (e.g. arousal measured via a smart device) affect navigation? Just because we can, should we?
