This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th IFIP WG
5.11 International Symposium on Environmental Software Systems,
ISESS 2011, held in Brno, Czech Republic, in June 2011. The 68
revised full papers presented together with four invited talks were
carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The
papers are organized in the following topical sections:
eEnvironment and cross-border services in digital agenda for
Europe; environmental information systems and services -
infrastructures and platforms; semantics and environment;
information tools for global environmental assessment; climate
services and environmental tools for urban planning and climate
change - applications and services.
Environmental Informatics is a fast growing field which deals with
all methods from computer science, environmental planning, ecology
and related subjects. As well as being an interdisciplinary area,
Environmental Informatics provides an interface between all
involved professional groups. Monitoring the state of the
environment, analysing existing data, presenting the data to
scientists and the public, as well as providing decision support
are only some of the topics involved. Environmental Informatics is
therefore a good foundation for the computer-assisted protection of
the environment.
Environmental Informatics (or Enviromatics) is a maturing subject
with interdisciplinary roots in computer science, environmental
planning, ecology, economics and other related areas. Its
practitioners must be prepared to work with many diverse
professional groups. It forms the foundation for computer-assisted
environmental protection. This book contains an edited version of
papers presented at the 3rd International Symposium on
Environmental Software Systems (ISESS '99), which was held at the
University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, from August 30 to
September 2, 1999, and was sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). The text is divided
into six sections: * Enviromatics - Introduction; * Environmental
Issues; * Environmental Information Systems - Tools and Techniques;
* Environmental Information Systems - Implementations; *
Environmental Decision Support Systems; * Specialised Topics. This
state-of-the-art volume will be essential reading for computer
scientists and engineers, ecologists, and environmental planners
and managers.
Due to increasing practical needs, software support of
environmental protection and research tasks is growing in
importance and scope. Software systems help to monitor basic data,
to maintain and process relevant environmental information, to
analyze gathered information and to carry out decision processes,
which often have to take into account complex alternatives with
various side effects. Therefore software is an important tool for
the environmental domain. When the first software systems in the
environmental domain grew - 10 to 15 years ag- users and developers
were not really aware of the complexity these systems are carrying
with themselves: complexity with respect to entities, tasks and
procedures. I guess nobody may have figured out at that time that
the environmental domain would ask for solutions which information
science would not be able to provide and - in several cases - can
not provide until today. Therefore environmental informatics - as
we call it today - is also an important domain of computer science
itself, because practical solutions need to deal with very complex,
interdisciplinary, distributed, integrated, sometimes badly
defined, user-centered decision processes. I doubt somebody will
state that we are already capable of building such integrated
systems for end users for reasonable cost on a broad range. The
development of the first scientific community for environmental
informatics started around 1985 in Germany, becoming a technical
committee and working group of the German Computer Society in 1987.

Angesichts des zunehmenden Informationsbedarfs im Umweltbereich
wird die benutzergerechte Darstellung von Umweltinformation im
weitesten Sinne immer wichtiger. Hiervon betroffen sind alle
Informatiksysteme, die Umweltinformation verarbeiten. Der 2.
Workshop "Visualisierung von Umweltdaten" fand vom 26.-28. November
1991 im Internationalen Begegnungs- und Forschungszentrum fur
Informatik (IBFI) Schloss Dagstuhl statt. Der Workshop wurde
veranstaltet von der Fachgruppe 4.6 "Informatik im Umweltschutz"
der Gesellschaft fur Informatik (Arbeitskreis Visualisierung von
Umweltdaten), dem Institut fur Umweltinformatik an der Hochschule
fur Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes und der Universitat
Rostock. Die in Fachvortragen, Arbeitsgruppen und Tutorien
abgedeckten Themen behandelten alle wichtigen Aspekte der
Prasentation von Umweltinformation: Visualisierungstechniken,
Benutzeroberflachen, geographische Informationssysteme,
Anwendungen, Benutzeranforderungen, Werkzeuge und Methoden. Ziel
des dreitagigen Workshops war, Entwickler, Anwender und Forscher
zusammenzubringen, um die Probleme und Moglichkeiten der
Visualisierung zu beleuchten. Der Band enthalt die Fachvortrage,
Diskussionspapiere und eine Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse.
Die sachgerechte Prasentation von umweltbezogenen Daten gewinnt
aufgrund der steigenden Komplexitat der Umweltprobleme eine immer
grossere Bedeutung. Aufgrund der Unterschiede in den
Benutzerkreisen werden die Anforderungen an
Visualisierungstechniken breiter. Das Buch gibt einen Uberblick
uber den derzeitigen Stand in Forschung und Praxis. Dabei werden
Querbezuge zu Simulation und Modellbildung,
Umweltinformationssystemen und Schnittstellenproblematik
hergestellt.
