The objectives of the ISCRAM-med conference are to provide an outstanding opportunity and an international forum for local and international researchers, practi- tioners,andpolicymakerstoaddressanddiscussnewtrendsandchallengesinthearea of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Disaster Management. SimilarlytotheinternationalISCRAMconference(its12theditionwasheldinMay 2015inNorway),theaimofISCRAM-medistofocusoncrisesanddisasters(natural or man-made) and the solutions (computer-based or not) required to be effective and efficient according to the disaster phases, types, and scales. A special focus on Med- iterranean-related experiences hasbeenconsidered. Infact, many crises haveoccurred in recent years around the Mediterranean Sea. Also, the shared history between the Mediterranean countries and common geopolitical issues has led to solidarity among people and cross-country interventions. This observation proves the importance of the need to enhance multi-disciplinary collaborations. Crises in this region should be studied in a participatory way following a holistic and systemic approach at a Medi- terranean level, rather than as isolated phenomena. Researchers concerned with crises in Mediterranean countries have often limited their work to a country or to a class of crises. Nowitbecomesappropriatetoexchangeandshareinformationandknowledge about the course and management of these crises and also to get the point of view of stakeholders, practitioners, and policy makers. We received 41 papers involving around 115 authors from 21 countries and 4 continents. The submissions to the conference covered a broad area of topics and attracted many south Mediterranean researchers. In fact, 19 papers were submitted involving 45 researchers from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and Senegal. Each submission received at least three review reports from Program Committee members. Fifty-six researchers, from 23 countries and 4 continents, kindly accepted to serve on the Program Committee. The reviews were based on five criteria: relevance, contri- bution,originality, validity,andclarityofthepresentation.Usingthese,eachreviewer providedarecommendationfromwhichweselected14fullpapers(ofabout12pages each) for publication and presentation at ISCRAM-med. Accordingly, the acceptance rateofISCRAM-med2015forfullpapersisabout34%.Inaddition,theseproceedings also include four short papers (eight pages each), which were presented at ISCRAM- med 2015. The 18 selected papers (involving 66 authors from 16 countries and 4 continents) arerelatedtothepreparednessandresponsephasesofadisastermanagementlifecycle and are organized according to five main topics: social computing, modelling and VI Preface simulation, information and knowledge management, engineering of emergency management systems, and decision support systems and collaboration. Furthermore, invited keynote talks were given by Mauro Dolce (General Director of the Department of Civil Protection, President of the Council of Ministers, Rome, Italy) on “Civil Protection Achievements and Critical Issues in Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research.” Nissaf Bouafif Ben Alaya (Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine of Tunis and General Director of the Observatory of New and Emerging Diseases, Tunis, Tunisia) gave a keynotetalkonEarlyWarningSystemsinTunisia:Evolution,Challenges,andPlaceof Environment and Modelling. Consequently, during this three-day conference, attendees were invited to present and discuss their experiences, their recent research results, best practices, and case studies. Tool demonstrations relating to the social, technical, and practical aspects of current or future ICT systems for all phases of management of emergencies, disasters, and crises, were given. By organizing the conference in Tunis, on the southern side of the Mediterranean Sea, we attracted many researchers from African countries and providedtheISCRAMcommunitywiththeopportunitytoexpandtheinfluenceofthe conference, to favor community building and knowledge sharing with the participants coming from these regions. Last, but not least, we hope that this international “new born” event organized in Mediterranean countries will grow and continuously lead to creating a great Mediter- raneanmultidisciplinarynetworktightlyconnectedtoandactivewiththeinternational ISCRAM community to manage disasters.
