Wireless Emergency Communications
September 21-23, 2009
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
The Wireless RERC State of Technology Conference on Wireless Emergency
Communications brings together domestic and international stakeholders to
examine the potential of wireless communications technology for improving
assistance for persons with disabilities before, during, and after a
natural or manmade disaster. The target audience is the wireless industry,
emergency management and public safety officials, broadcast and cable
industry, individuals with disabilities, disability organizations, and
researchers working on issues of emergency communications.
The Wireless RERC is seeking papers on important topics and input on
potential speakers for plenary sessions and workshops. In this light, we
welcome industry studies, empirical research and policy analysis on topics
related to wireless emergency communications, such as (but not restricted
to) technological issues, disability issues, or public safety and emergency
management issues (see attachment for more specific topic listings).
Abstracts are due March 15, 2009.
Papers will be peer reviewed and those selected will appear in the
published Proceedings of the Wireless RERC State of Technology Conference:
Wireless Emergency Communications. Selected papers will be compiled in a
proposed special edition of a selected peer reviewed journal.
