The document summarizes information about the International Association for the Study of Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM). It discusses ISCRAM's history, goals of promoting research and knowledge exchange to improve disaster management, and types of research conducted. It also provides details about the upcoming ISCRAM 2010 conference in Seattle, including the program and opportunities for participation.
- The document analyzes tweets from two natural hazard events, 2009 Red River floods and 2008 Oklahoma wildfires, to understand how Twitter may contribute to situational awareness.
- Over 13,000 tweets were analyzed from the floods and over 6,000 from the wildfires. Tweets provided geo-location information, situational updates, and references to locations that could help provide a coherent picture of the events.
- Tweets related to the wildfires contained more information about fire lines, wind conditions, and evacuations, while tweets about the floods contained more about flood levels, weather, and volunteer information. Tweets with situational updates and geo-location tags were more likely to be retweeted.
A father questions his daughter about her choice to major in Communication Arts (CMAT) at Salisbury University. The daughter explains that Salisbury offers many clubs related to her major, which keep her busy. When the father doubts her future job prospects, the daughter insists that Communication Arts is a worthwhile major. She cites the university website and conversations with professors as proof of the major's value and opportunities.
Twitter Adoption and Use in Mass Convergence and Emergency Eventsguest8c177f
This presentation offers a descriptive account of Twitter (a micro-blogging service) across four high profile, mass convergence events—two emergency and two national security. We statistically examine how Twitter is being used surrounding these events, and compare and contrast how that behavior is different from more general Twitter use. Our findings suggest that Twitter messages sent during these types of events contain more displays of information broadcasting and brokerage, and we observe that general Twitter use seems to have evolved over time to offer more of an information-sharing purpose. We also provide preliminary evidence that Twitter users who join during and in apparent relation to a mass convergence or emergency event are more likely to become long-term adopters of the technology.
Spatiotemporal Mashups: A Survey of Current Tools to Inform Next Generation C...Sophia B Liu
ISCRAM 2009 Conference for the Human-Computer Interaction track on Interactive Map Technologies session
Abstract: Developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have adjusted the opportunities for spatial and temporal representations of data, possibly permitting the simultaneous visualization of how different regions and populations are affected during large-scale emergencies and crises. We surveyed 13 crisis-related mashups to derive some high-level design directions to guide the design and testing of next generation crisis support tools. The current web mashups offer a new way of looking at how crises are spatiotemporally ordered. However, since all technology is constrained by limitations of design choice, examining the limits and possibilities of what current design choices afford can inform attributes of what next generation crisis support tools would require.
Este documento presenta un resumen de 3 oraciones del trabajo "El valor del fragmento" de Laura Jaitovich. Analiza cómo Freud y Lacan usaron fragmentos clínicos para abordar obstáculos en la clínica y cuestionar la posición del analista. Luego presenta un fragmento clínico de una paciente llamada S. cuya posición fantasmática se articula a un rasgo paterno y oscila entre lo imperturbable y lo especular, dificultando la intervención.
