Submission Deadline: 30 October 2002
First World Congress on Information Technology in Environmental
Engineering ITEE 2003, Technical University of Gdansk, Poland
24-27 June 2003
Acquisition, storage and processing of environmental information are
becoming vital to preserving the quality of human life. Potentially
dangerous changes are happening in the atmosphere, oceans, animal
habitats and places where hazardous materials are used, or have been
discarded without adequate environmental protections.
In recent years, information technology has become significant to all
scientific groups and fields involved in environment engineering.
Knowledge based systems which enable the study of environmental changes
have been developed, are being extended to manage those environments.
New paradigms for designing objects to enable easy disassembly and
recovery of components contribute to reuse. Developments in exploiting
alternative energy sources are reducing dependence on non-renewable
resources. Surveillance techniques enable tracking of persons likely to
threaten the lives of persons or their environment.
The ITEE 2003 conference will provide a forum for exchanging information
among pollution engineers, knowledge engineers and scientists. Some of
the objectives include discussion of projects for long-term storage of
data, data update and validation, and the consistency of data. Research
topics and funding opportunities discussed at the conference will be of
interest to all researchers. Another objective is to discuss means of
assessing the potential of individual teams in implementation and
modelling of large-scale systems.
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM:
Confirmed Plenary Speeches:
Stanislaw R. Massel: 'Measurements, Data Processing and Modelling in the
Modern Marine Studies'
Jozef M. Pacyna: 'THE DPSIR Framework as a Scientific Support for Policy
Response and Management Options in the Coastal Zone'
CALL FOR INVITED SESSIONS
The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective
organizers are requested to send a session proposal - consisting of 4-5
invited papers - to the general chair and respective area co-chair.
Invited sessions should preferably start with the title and the purpose
of the session and a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session
organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers
register to the conference.
CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
Several workshops/tutorials are planned for ITEE 2003. Each workshop
will focus on a particular topic, and consist of several presentations
and open discussions. The proposal for a workshop should include the
title, topics covered, proposed speakers, targeted audiences, and
estimated length (hours) of the workshop. The proposal should be
submitted to the general chair and respective area co-chair.
