Aims and Scope
United Nation (UN) has defined a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), all related to global challenges. Research on these multi-disciplinary and multi-sector challenges are of significant value and importance. The 8th International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence for Disaster Management (AIDM-2025) is dedicated to the critical infrastructures, secure societies and sustainability challenges and in particular, to the dissemination of completed or works in progress that are original contributions and related to the emerging computational and collaborative technologies for the purpose of managing natural and man-made disasters and technological accidents. There are various advanced and emerging computational paradigms that could be applied as a means to mitigate and prepare for, respond to and recover from continuously growing occurrences of such disasters. Stakeholders in disaster management settings often find the effective and efficient utilization of supporting technologies quite a challenging process but very frequently a critical computational inclusion to the intelligence that it is required in the decision-making for protecting lives, organizations, property, environment and critical infrastructures. AIDM-2025 aims to prompt relevant discussion and highlight issues related to the stakeholders’ needs and the available technologies, which could be applied to support the operation and functioning during the aforementioned stages.
AIDM-2025 will highlight both technical and less technical challenges. Softer issues are less technical and relate to various stakeholders’ perspectives including technology acceptance, civil protection, fire and rescue services, ambulance and health services, humanitarian bodies and, technical infrastructure managers and administrators. AIDM-2025 aims also to discuss technical issues and specifically, advanced ICTs which could further stakeholders’ operations. Thus, advances of applicable technologies including data science, data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) could be used to capture, store and analyze data from smart spaces need to be discussed. The scope of AIDM-2025 is to demonstrate the increased applicability and impact of computational intelligence in satisfying the disaster’s management domain challenging requirements. Finally, AIDM-2010 aims to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the emerging area.

Pandemics are disruptive. Thus, there is a need to prepare and plan actions in advance for identifying, assessing, and responding to such events to manage uncertainty and support sustainable livelihood and wellbeing. A detailed assessment of a continuously evolving situation needs to take place, and several aspects must be brought together and examined before the declaration of a pandemic even happens. Various health organizations; crisis management bodies; and authorities at local, national, and international levels are involved in the management of pandemics. There is no better time to revisit current approaches to cope with these new and unforeseen threats. As countries must strike a fine balance between protecting health, minimizing economic and social disruption, and respecting human rights, there has been an emerging interest in lessons learned and specifically in revisiting past and current pandemic approaches. Such approaches involve strategies and practices from several disciplines and fields including healthcare, management, IT, mathematical modeling, and data science. Using data science to advance in-situ practices and prompt future directions could help alleviate or even prevent human, financial, and environmental compromise, and loss and social interruption via state-of-the-art technologies and frameworks.
Data Science Advancements in Pandemic and Outbreak Management demonstrates how strategies and state-of-the-art IT have and/or could be applied to serve as the vehicle to advance pandemic and outbreak management. The chapters will introduce both technical and non-technical details of management strategies and advanced IT, data science, and mathematical modelling and demonstrate their applications and their potential utilization within the identification and management of pandemics and outbreaks. It also prompts revisiting and critically reviewing past and current approaches, identifying good and bad practices, and further developing the area for future adaptation. This book is ideal for data scientists, data analysts, infectious disease experts, researchers studying pandemics and outbreaks, IT, crisis and disaster management, academics, practitioners, government officials, and students interested in applicable theories and practices in data science to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from future pandemics and outbreaks.

Disaster management is a dynamic and fluid area, which requires the involvement of expertise from different authorities and organisations. There is a need to prepare and plan in advance actions in response to disaster related events in order to support sustainable livelihood by protecting lives, property and the environment.
Advanced ICTs for Disaster Management and Threat Detection: Collaborative and Distributed Frameworks demonstrates how strategies and state-of-the-art ICT have and/or could be applied to serve as a vehicle to advance disaster management approaches, decisions and practices. This book provides both a conceptual and practical guidance to disaster management while also identifying and developing effective and efficient approaches, mechanisms, and systems using emerging technologies to support an effective operation. This state-of-the-art reference collection attempts to prompt the future direction for disaster managers to identify applicable theories and practices in order to mitigate, prepare for, respond to and recover from various foreseen and/or unforeseen disasters.
