Information technologies have evolved to an enabling science for
natural resource management and conservation, environmental
engineering, scientific simulation and integrated assessment
studies. Computing plays a significant role in every day practices
of environmental engineers, natural scientists, economists, and
social scientists. The complexity of natural phenomena requires
interdisciplinary approaches, where computing science offers the
infrastructure for environmental data collection and management,
scientific simulations, decision support documentation and
reporting.
Ecology, environmental engineering and natural resource
management comprise an excellent real-world testbed for IT system
demonstration, while raising new challenges for computer science.
Complexity, uncertainty and scaling issues of natural systems form
a demanding application domain for sensor networks and earth
observation systems; modelling, simulation and scientific
workflows, data management and reporting, decision support and
intelligent systems, distributed computing environments,
geographical information systems, heterogeneous systems
integration, software engineering, accounting systems and control
systems.
This books offers a collection of papers presented at the 4th
International Symposium on Environmental Engineering, held in May
2009, in Thessaloniki, Greece. Recent success stories in
ecoinformatics, promising ideas and new challenges are discussed
among computer scientists, environmental engineers, economists and
social scientists, demonstrating new paradigms for problem solving
and decision making.
