- Modelling of Environmental Systems, including Ecological systems
- Decision Support Systems
Description
The session will focus on the general field of Environmental modelling. Many human and natural activities cause damage to the nature and human beings. A good modelling practice of such real environmental systems is the crux for obtaining a successful software to help in the decision making process. The design, development and evaluation of such software systems, commonly known as Decision Support Systems, is one of the issues to be discussed in this session. Also, ecological systems modelling is an interesting challenge to be discussed in the session.
