Goals of the Conference

The main purpose of the symposium is to present and discuss the
international state-of-the-art-applications in computer science concerning
environmental protection. Research and development projects will be
presented, new trends will be derived, and future aspects will be
elaborated. The aims of the conference are the communication and exchange
of experiences between researchers, developers, and practitioners.

Papers are solicited (but not limited to) on the following topics:

* Applications Related to the Environment
    Waste Management
    Water Protection
    Noise Abatement
    Air Pollution
    Measurement Networks
    Environmental Impact Statement
    Geographic Information Systems
    Ecosystems Research
    Applications for Local or Federal Authorities

* Computer Science Methods
    Database Management Systems and Database Applications
    Knowledge Base Systems
    Modelling and Simulation
    Visualization
    Integration of Various Methods and Techniques
    Distributed Systems

Papers that include statements on prospects, risks, consequences, and
limitations of the applied methods are of special interest.

Invited papers will be presented in addition to the contributed papers.
A panel discussion and an exhibition will complete the program.
