SUMMARY:18th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management
DESCRIPTION:The annual ISCRAM conference is held each May and it provides the opportunity for researchers and practitioners from across the world to meet and share their expertise in the design\, development\, and implementation of information systems that are focused on improving the management of crises and disaster situations. \nThe ISCRAM Association\, which sponsors the annual conference\, is a vibrant international community of researchers and practitioners. It is dedicated to providing free access to the full proceedings of each annual ISCRAM conference through the ISCRAM digital library. \nDue to the travel restrictions and limitations on large gatherings caused by the COVID-19 pandemic\, and the likelihood that such limitations will persist in some form through the end of May 2021\, the ISCRAM Board and the ISCRAM 2021 conference organizers have decided that it will be best to present ISCRAM 2021 as an interactive virtual event rather than in its traditional face-to-face format. \nMore details about the format of the actual conference will be posted as they become available\, along with information about the various opportunities that will be provided for dynamically interacting with the ISCRAM community during the event. No changes are being made to the paper submission and review process and accepted submissions will be published in the ISCRAM 2021 Proceedings\, as always. \nFor more information please visit the conference website.

SUMMARY:31st Annual Conference of the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS)
DESCRIPTION:POMS 2021: Building a Sustainable\, Responsible\, and Resilient Global Future\nProduction and Operations Management Society (POMS) is an international professionns  gemangegetal organization representing the interests of production and operations management (POM) professionals from around the world. The purposes of the Society are: \n\nTo extend and integrate knowledge that contributes to the improved understanding and practice of POM;\nTo disseminate information on POM to managers\, scientists\, educators\, students\, public and private organizations\, national and local governments\, and the general public; and\nTo promote the improvement of POM and its teaching in public and private manufacturing and service organizations throughout the world.\n\nThe society’s web page may be found at: http://www.poms.org/ The annual conference provides an opportunity for faculty\, doctoral students and practitioners to share knowledge and insights through research presentations\, tutorials\, workshops and panel discussions.  \nBernd Hellingrath and Adam Widera from the C³M are chairing a mini-session within the “Humanitarian Operations and Crisis Management” track. The session covers the topic of simulation-related research in the context of humanitarian logistics. Since the rise of research activities in the context of humanitarian logistics in the past two decades\, a special emphasis has been placed on the design and application of simulation-based approaches. Those research activities cover a wide range of different simulation paradigms as well as a very diverse range of application cases. This session aims at providing a structured overview of the different approaches and to present and discuss selected simulation-based concepts to better understand and improve humanitarian logistics practices.

SUMMARY:C³M @ Risky Monday organized by the Institute of Rescue Engineering and Civil Protection of the TH Köln University of Applied Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Practitioner-centered Assessment of Socio-technical Innovations in Crisis Management:  Insights from the DRIVER+ Demonstration Project\nAbstract: The scale and pace of crises pose enormous challenges for the crisis management (CM) community\, with new threats emerging all the time. An already complex field must strive to integrate new technologies and methods; cope with a rapidly changing infrastructure; understand evolving risks; be effective across cultural\, administrative and national boundaries as well as engage with populations to enhance their resilience. In this context\, crisis management innovation must be capable of meeting these multifaceted challenges and delivering solutions that are modular\, flexible and adaptable. \nThe aim of the EU-funded DRIVER+ project\, which concluded in June 2020 and was labelled by the Research Executive Agency (REA) of the EC a “success story”\, has been to accelerate capability development and crisis management innovation by delivering these main outputs to the European crisis management community: \n\nThe pan-European Test-bed consisting of the Trial Guidance Methodology (TGM)\, a Trial Guidance Tool (TGT) supporting the TGM application as well as an appropriate Test-bed Technical Infrastructure (TTI) enabling the simulation of a crisis environment including the connection of the innovative solutions and the respective legacy systems;\nThe Portfolio of Solutions (PoS) covering innovative crisis management solutions at different technology readiness levels\, according to a well-structured taxonomy of crisis management functions and gaps.\nThe Crisis Management Innovation Network Europe (CMINE) enhancing the shared understanding of crisis management in Europe.\n\nAfter presenting those three key DRIVER+ outputs and sharing several insights from the project\, one out of the five trials will be briefly presented. The Trial was held in The Hague\, Netherlands\, and it covered a flood scenario triggering a mass evacuation in the affected region. \nFurther information: https://riskncrisis.wordpress.com/events/weekly-events/risky-monday/ \n
