Ingo,
Howdy! This is a valuable exercise and will be very interesting material! I wish I could be there for the workshop. After the workshop, it would be good if you would make this information available to this community, the five selected scenarios and even the ones not-selected. These use-case descriptions will be invaluable for folks putting together applications to address these needs.
Kind regards,
-Patrick

Subject: [TC-Announce] Extended deadline: ISCRAM Workshop: Geospatial ICT Support for Crisis Management and Response

DEADLINE EXTENDED: February, 22nd!

ISCRAM 2015 Half-day Workshop, May 24, 2015
Geospatial ICT Support for Crisis Management and Response
Call for participation
Efficient crisis response and management requires well-informed actors and stakeholders and effective means for communication and policy enforcement. A secure and dependable geospatial information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure may be an indispensable aid if it is tailored to the needs of the respective risk and crisis management phases and the various users.
During an ISCRAM 2015 workshop experts of the risk and crisis management community will meet software architects and engineers of the geospatial domain. It shall launch a discussion forum between ISCRAM and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), especially its Emergency and Disaster Management (EDM) domain working group.
You are invited to contribute to this workshop by providing a one page scenario description out of the crisis and response management domain which will finally be entered into a use case server. The scenario shall be written from a user’s and/or stakeholder’s point of view, but motivate and claim an urgent and challenging need for geospatial ICT support exceeding current capabilities in terms of functionality or quality. Furthermore, the scenario shall identify the actors, their roles, the geographic and temporal scope as well as the type of disaster.
A maximum of five authors will be selected to present and discuss their scenarios at the workshop. ICT experts of the geospatial domain will present existing service and data model capabilities. A facilitated discussion will identify the requirements and map them to future ICT capabilities in the light of emerging technological trends.
Interested representatives of both communities may participate to the workshop also without submission of a scenario.
NEW Deadline for submissions:                 22 February 2015
Notification of acceptance:                           2 March 2015.
