International audience ; The 21st Century has been termed "the century of disasters." Worldwide there were twice as many disasters and catastrophes in the first decade of this century as in the last decade of the 20th Century. All continents are affected, both directly and indirectly. And the trend continues, fuelled by climate change, demographic changes and social dynamics. The serious challenges facing government in cities, regions and nations of the world relate to acute shocks (such as forest fires, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, pandemics and terrorist attacks) and chronic stresses (such as high unemployment, religious extremism, inefficient public transport systems, endemic violence, chronic shortages of food and water). Information is among the key life-supporting essentials in a disaster response, as well as water and basic foods which are vital to sustain lives. It is information technology these days that gives us access to most of this information. We rely greatly on it. In this sense, information management with effective use of information systems should be conducted and evaluated among disaster relief agencies. Successful information management will result in making higher situational awareness in a field that is crucial for a disaster response. It also guides us to build a disaster-resilient community which can adapt the society to those unexpected events. These issues should be tackled at each level of the governance (international, national, regional, local, etc.), and with regards to all relevant dimensions (social, technological, interoperability, agility, etc.). This minitrack features government and disaster information management, including the development of disaster resilience communities/societies. Five papers have been selected that deal with any aspect of the analysis, design, development, deployment, implementation, integration, operation, use or evaluation of ICT for discussing government roles for disaster responses, disaster information management, and resilience communities.

International audience ; Nowadays, Business continuity management (BCM) has become an important topic in most sectors of activity, for government organizations as well as for business owners and their stakeholders, especially after the pandemic of COVID-19. For years, companies and organizations have been working on their BCM strategies to deal with disruptive events like floods, terrorist attacks, and pandemics. As the business environment is becoming increasingly competitive, having a well-established and clear BCM tool is a priority rather than merely providing verbose documents of business continuity plans(BCP) in which management rules and instructions are specified in a textual manner that makes their implementation very difficult. This present research sets out to fulfill this need by designing a dedicated tool, named "BeC@RE", which supports the efficient application of the BCM framework. Therefore, a literature analysis was conducted to investigate the scientific foundations of BCM in order to point out the main components and features needed to be implemented and supported by this dedicated tool. "BeC@RE" tool was implemented using the ADOxx meta-modeling platform which is openly available, allowing its adoption and use in BCM practice.

International audience ; Clearly, the year 2020 has shown how sensitive human society is to crisis situations. This is not only a simple matter of fact, this is also and mainly the consequence of the hyper connection of this human society. There is actually no more absorption space for our world and society to absorb any significant disruption and avoid its spreading across the whole planet. However, the progress of human society, in addition to being considered as the main cause of this dangerous evolution, could also provide avenues to deal with it: data science, artificial intelligence, social networks and more globally information technologies are amazing avenues that "in charge" institutions and governments should deeply consider to take the right path to deal with the tremendous next challenges of the century (global warming, pandemics, overpopulation and lack of resources, disbalance north and south, drop of biodiversity, etc.). The DIRECT minitrack of the eGov track of HICSS 54 presents nine great papers addressing these issues but also these perspectives. The following presents each of these articles.

International audience ; This article deals with the question of risk and opportunity identification based on data management as one main step of the convergence of artificial intelligence and industrial engineering. Two main subjects are addressed in this article: (i) the data management framework that could be the backbone for the whole approach, and (ii) the modeling theoretical background that could be used as a basement for the definition of a formal system for risk and opportunity modeling. The general principles presented in the article are used to define outlooks and to organize them as milestone of a roadmap.

AbstractIdentifying, designing, deploying and maintaining accurate collaborative networks of organizations (e.g. responders in a crisis situation) are key activities in nowadays ecosystems. However, there is a lack regarding formal approaches dedicated to characterize collaborative networks of organizations. Formal descriptions of collaborative situations, that could be used, transformed, computed and exploited would be of great benefit for the quality of such collaborative networks. This article presents a model‐based AI framework for describing collaborative situations and the associated formal metamodel dedicated to be instantiated to characterize collaborative situations in a very wide range of application domains. This metamodel (describing collaborative situation between organizations) is structured according to four complementary dimensions: the context (social, physical and geographical environment), the partners (the involved organizations, their capabilities resources and relations), the objectives (the aims of the network, the goals to be the achieved and the risks to avoid, etc.) and the behaviour (the collaborative processes to be implemented by the partners to achieve the objectives in the considered context). Besides, this metamodel can be extended for some precise application domains. This article focuses on this mechanism in the specific context of crisis management.
