Third International Meeting on Information Systems for Crisis Management and Response, May 14-17 2006 NJIT, Newark NJ We have accepted 60 very excellent papers (peer reviewed) for ISCRAM and they cover a wide variety of multidisciplinary topics. I encourage you to brows the program list of papers at http://www.iscram.org/doc/ISCRAM2006Program.pdf We also have three top notch keynoters and a panel on the Katrina Experience. The papers and half the current 130 registrations are form outside the United States and 25 of the registrations are Ph.D. students working in this area. Papers on such topics as Information Systems or Communication system requirements, early warning systems, new satellite applications, personal area networks/sensors for first responders, visualization of complex data, interagency communications, command and control, etc. I am sure you would enjoy the meeting, but even if you cannot make it I would appreciate you forwarding this to others you might know who might be interested. I suspect we will hit 250 attendees and have to stop registration around that point. We have allowed a half hour for each paper to facilitate questions and discussion. We also have exhibit tables and other sponsorship options. If you would like a one page flyer which more fully describes the keynote speakers let me know. http://is.njit.edu/turoff --------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send an empty email to mailto:[log in to unmask] For further details of CHI lists see http://sigchi.org/listserv ---------------------------------------------------------------
