                                  SCOPE

The goal of the symposium "Computer Science for Environmental Protection"
is to examine the state of the art of computer applications used for
environmental protection purposes.
In this way, the productive application of computers is promoted and the
communication between computer scientists and experts in environmental
protection is intensified.

                                CONTENTS

The conference will cover a wide range of issues concerning the use of
computer applications for environmentally oriented purposes. These topics 
include:
- applications in the field of climatology or prevention of air pollution
- measuring networks, measuring stations, dispersion models
- measuring and prognosis of water quality
- research on ecosystems, forests, animals, nature conservation
- refuse disposal, inherited waste problems
- analysis of noise pollution, noise control
- effects of the use of energy
- state and local environmental information systems
- traffic or tasks in logistics
- environmental legislation, environmental impact assessment
- system research for environmental protection
- ecological and economical interaction
- environmental education

In the field of computer science, the following topics are expected to be 
discussed:
- model design and simulation
- use of data bases and information systems
- on-line data bases
- geographic information systems
- process and data acquisition and process control
- visualisation, image processing
- computer graphics
- expert systems
- use of high performance computers.

In addition to invited speakers, presentations and tutorials, a survey of the 
existing computer applications for environmental protection will be conducted. 
A panel discussion along with a presentation of applications currently in use 
should faciliate the exchange of information among participants.
