Dear All Just a reminder that the deadline for the minitrack "'*Communication and Information Systems Technology for Crisis and Disaster Management"* is coming up on the 15th June. Details of the minitrack can be found at http://www.hicss.org/#!communication-and-information-systems-te/c1fx3 Submission details here: http://www.hicss.org/#!authors/ccjp This year will be a very special HICSS, it's in its 50th year, so it will be a great conference!!!! Hope to see you there Kind regards Julie Dugdale Associate Professor Grenoble Alps University, Adjunct Professor University of Agder ISCRAM Association President MAGMA, multi-agent systems team leader, Grenoble Informatics Lab http://magma.imag.fr/content/julie-dugdale On 25/04/16 18:41, Julie Dugdale wrote: > Dear Colleagues > > As former authors, presenters or attendees of previous mini-tracks at > the HICSS conference, I'm writing to let you know about the > '*Communication and Information Systems Technology for Crisis and > Disaster Management Minitrack*' that will be running at HICSS-50 4th - > 7th January 2017 at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. > > I really encourage you to submit your work to this stimulating > mini-track.
