6th International Conference on Information Technologies in Environmental Engineering

Information Technologies in Environmental Engineering (ITEE) are the topic of a conference-row, taking place every two years since 2003. Past venues have been Greece (Thessaloniki, 2009), Poland (Poznan, 2011 and Gdansk, 2003) and Germany (Oldenburg, 2007 and Magdeburg, 2005).

The 6th ITEE-Conference will be held at Leuphana University Lüneburg in the northern part of Germany from 10-12 July 2013.

Recent success stories and new ideas in ecoinformatics, sustainable development, interdisciplinary approaches, where computer science offers the infrastructure for environmental data collection and management, scientific simulations, decision support and reporting will be discussed among computer scientists, environmental engineers, economists and social scientists, demonstrating new paradigms for problem solving and decision making.

The conference proceedings will be published in the Environmental Science and Engineering-Series by Springer.

19th IMACS World Congress Mini-symposium
Advances in Environmental Software

Convenors: Andrea Rizzoli and Ioannis Athanasiadis

Understanding the complex relationships between humans and the environment is becoming more and more important. The efficient and sustainable management of environmental systems is essential to provide essential services such as water, for drinking and irrigation, preserving ecosystem diversity, guaranteeing food security, and an acceptable air quality, to name a few. As the scale of the challenge is rising, the need for sound methodological approaches to assist environmental managers is strong as ever, and environmental decision support systems (EDSS) can package and deliver such approaches.

Software systems have made huge progress in the last decade, and EDSSs are taking advantage of that progress. In this mini-symposium we want to discuss, appreciate and evaluate the impact of software engineering methods and computing tools in the implementation and delivery of modern EDSS. Topics include distributed and cloud computing, social computing, crowdsourcing, the semantic web and ontologies, open linked data, big data and non-SQL databases, GPU and parallel computing, advanced visualization techniques, agile programming and domain-specific languages, and their use in environmental software applications

ISESS 2013

ioannis — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 19:53:36 +0000

ISESS, the International Symposium on Environmental Software Systems, was initiated in 1995 as a forum to present and discuss the fundamentals, progress and actual trends in this area in terms of methods, tools and state-of-the-art environmental informatics applications. Over the years, it has also evolved into an important networking tool for academics, environmental professionals, and other interested parties.

ISESS is a conference series organized on behalf of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), WG 5.11 “Computers and Environment”. In odd-numbered years, ISESS is held as a conference with a complete range of topics related to Environmental Information Systems (EIS) and related topics. In even-numbered years ISESS is held as a workshop of International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software (IEMSS) with the focus being on a specific topic. The 2013 conference is organised by the Austrian Institute of Technology in cooperation with IFIP, the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. The conference will be held on October 9-11, 2013, in Hotel Wende, Neusiedl am See (close to Vienna), Austria.

ISESS 2013 Proceedings will be published in electronic form in the series IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology of Springer and is included to SCOPUS.
