Information technologies in environmental engineering: Proceedings of the 5th International ICSC Symposium on Information Technologies in Environmental Engineering (ITEE 2011)

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 require 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 bring up new challenges for computer science. Complexity, uncertainty and scaling issues of natural systems set up a demanding application domain for 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; control systems, as well assustainable manufacturing and reverse logistics. This books offers a collection of papers presented at the 5th International Symposium on Environmental Engineering, held in July 2011, in Poznan, Poland. Recent success stories in ecoinformatics, promising ideas and new challenges are discussed among computer scientists, environmental engineers, industrial engineers, economists and socialscientists, demonstrating new paradigms for problem solving and decision making. Holistic Approach. Presents concepts and applications in the field of environmental engineering. State-of-the-Art Content. INDICE: Information Technologies in Environmental Engineering. Formal Methods and Data Processing Techniques. Environmental Policy and Management. Modelling and Stimulation. Tools and Measurement Techniques. Practical Applicationsand Experiences.
