This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th
International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response
and Management in Mediterranean Countries, ISCRAM-med 2017, held in
Xanthi, Greece, in October 2017. ISCRAM-med conferences aim to
enhance the collaboration and solidarity between Mediterranean
countries in issues related to crisis management. They offer an
outstanding opportunity to address and discuss new trends and
challenges in the area of Information systems and Technologies for
Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM). The 12 full and 5 short
papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and
selected from 39 submissions. They were organized in topical
sections named: social networking and big data analytics; robotic
systems for crisis management; decision making in the context of
crisis management; serious games and simulations; and collaboration
and information sharing.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response
and Management in Mediterranean Countries, ISCRAM-med 2016, held in
Madrid, Spain, in October 2016. Information systems and
technologies can play a key role in crisis management in order to
support preparation, response, mitigation and recovery processes.
Yet technology is not enough to guarantee a better management
process, and therefore the conference does not only focus on
engineering technologies, but also on their application and
practical experiences. The 12 full and 8 short papers presented in
this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 36
submissions. They are organized in topical sections on mobile apps
for citizens, modeling and simulation, development of information
systems, information and knowledge management, collaboration and
coordination, social computing, and issues in humanitarian crisis.
This book aims at guiding the educators from a variety of available
technologies to support learning and teaching by discussing the
learning benefits and the challenges that interactive technology
imposes. This guidance is based on practical experiences gathered
through developing and integrating them into varied educational
settings. It compiles experiences gained with various interactive
technologies, offering a comprehensive perspective on the use and
potential value of interactive technologies to support learning and
teaching. Taken together, the chapters provide a broader view that
does not focus exclusively on the uses of technology in educational
settings, but also on the impact and ability of technology to
improve the learning and teaching processes. The book addresses the
needs of researchers, educators and other stakeholders in the area
of education interested in learning how interactive technologies
can be used to overcome key educational challenges.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th
International Symposium on End-User Development, IS-EUD 2015, held
in Madrid, Spain, in May 2015. The 10 full papers and 13 short
papers were presented at the event. Additionally, the volume
contains 2 keynote speeches, 3 doctoral consortia papers, 1
workshop paper and 6 EUD-playground papers. The papers provide a
broad overview of the current state of End-User Development
research.
Here, in a single volume, is the first comprehensive history in
English of the Sephardim--descendants of the Jews expelled from
Spain in 1492. Paloma Diaz-Mas recounts the journey and customs of
this fascinating group as they moved across the globe. They settled
initially in Mediterranean Europe, the Low Countries, North Africa,
and the Turkish Empire, but in the nineteenth century, a second
diaspora brought the Sephardim to the United States, South America,
Israel, and Western Europe. She traces the origins and survival of
their unique language and explores the literature they produced.
Their relationship to Spain is also uncovered, as well as their
everyday lives. "Sephardim" is an authoritative and completely
accessible investigation of the history and legacy of this amazing
people.
Here, in a single volume, is the first comprehensive history in
English of the Sephardim - descendants of the Jews expelled from
Spain in 1492 by Ferdinand and Isabella. Writing for the general
reader as well as for the specialist, Paloma Diaz-Mas provides a
superbly organized and up-to-date account of Sephardic culture,
history, religious practice, language, and literature. Most of the
Sephardim originally settled in Mediterranean Europe, the Low
Countries, North Africa, and the Turkish Empire. In the nineteenth
century, however, a second diaspora brought the Sephardim to the
United States, South America, Israel, and Western Europe. Diaz-Mas
begins with a brief overview of Jewish religion and culture,
discussing the calendar, holidays, dietary laws, and life-cycle
ceremonies. Next, she traces the history of the Jews in Spain
through the 1492 expulsion. She succinctly describes their
subsequent wanderings, settlements, and achievements up to the
nineteenth century, when false messiahs caused crises that had a
profound impact on Sephardic communities. After detailing the
various causes of the second diaspora, Diaz-Mas addresses the
effect of the Holocaust specifically on the Sephardim - an issue
almost entirely overlooked elsewhere. She also reviews the
involvement of the Sephardim in Spanish politics through the
Moroccan Protectorate and into Franco's time and the present. The
final chapter focuses on the situation of the Sephardim throughout
the world today. Diaz-Mas's treatment of the language of the
Sephardim - often called Ladino or Judeo-Spanish - shows how it
diverged from "mainstream" Spanish in the 1500s, how it developed
regional dialects, and why it is now disappearing as aneveryday
language. In addition to traditional Sephardic literature -
religious works, coplas (verses), popular stories - newer genres
like journalism and theater are also examined. Authoritative and
completely accessible, Sephardim will appeal to anyone interested
in Spanish culture and Jewish civilization. Each chapter ends with
a list of recommended reading, and the book includes an extensive
bibliography of works in Spanish, French, and English. Fully
updated by the author since its publication in Spanish, Sephardim
also features notes by the translator that illuminate references
which might otherwise be obscure to an English-speaking reader.
