# Description

The aim of this 3 day conference is to bring together both researchers
and practitioners in the South-East Asian region that are working on
state-of-the-art crisis information systems. The conference will be a
unique opportunity to exchange information and knowledge, and provide
a forum for discussion of new research results, best practices and
case studies. The first day of the conference is dedicated to
tutorials, this will be followed by 2 days of scientific presentations

ISCRAM Vietnam 2013 is part of the ISCRAM (Information Systems for
Crisis Response and Management) (http://www.iscram.org/) conference
series. The ISCRAM Association's primary mission is to foster a
community dedicated to promoting research and development, exchange of
knowledge and deployment of information systems for crisis management,
including the social, technical and practical aspects of all
information and communication systems used or to be used in all phases
of management of emergencies, disasters and crises. Whilst there are
several ISCRAM events organized within Europe and North America, the
goal of the ISCRAM Vietnam conference is to bring together the large
number of researchers and practitioners concerned with information
systems for crisis management in the South East Asia region.
