1st International Workshop on “Intelligent Systems for Environmental (Knowledge) Engineering and EcoInformatics”
... also as i-SEEK'09: Intelligent-Systems for Engineering Environmental Knowledge 2009 ... also at http://semanticweb.org/wiki/I-SEEK09
(In conjunction with CISIS'2009: http://www.cisis-conference.eu/)
March 16-19, 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS Aim and Scope
Based on Wikipedia definition about EcoInformatics, the workshop also deals with Informatics
in Ecology
and Environmental science, integrating
environmental and information sciences to define entities and natural
processes with language common to both humans and computers. EcoInformatics focus not only on the creation of tools to
access and analyze natural system data but also to facilitate environmental
research and management by developing ways to access and integrate databases
of environmental information, and to develop new algorithms enabling
different environmental datasets to be combined to test ecological
hypotheses. EcoInformatics deal with the semantics
of natural system knowledge. For this reason, much of today's ecoInformatics research relates to Knowledge Representation. Active ecoInformatics projects are having close relations to
technologies such as the Semantic Web. Examples of key research areas
of EcoInformatics are: § Technology
assisted systematic collection of data § Easy access to
relevant information (data and analysis), requiring interoperability and
integration across formats (syntax) and concepts (semantics) § Development of
conceptual and computational frameworks for advanced modeling and analysis
(e.g. complex ecosystems) § Visualization and
communication of analysis results and scenarios Based
on the above description, we seek innovative work that can demonstrate
intelligent applications and technologies which use semantics to solve
environmental engineering and ecoInformatics
problems, e.g. problems that involve water and air pollution control,
recycling, energy control, waste disposal, and public health issues.
Furthermore, we seek innovative work that can demonstrate tools/systems
focusing on the efficient management and integration of environmental and
ecological data, metadata/semantics and knowledge. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ·
Expert Systems for Environmental/Ecological
Technology ·
Environmental/Ecological Knowledge Engineering
Systems ·
Intelligent Tutoring Systems for
Environmental/Ecological Education ·
Environmental/Ecological terminology ·
Engineering environmental/ecological
metadata/semantics ·
Semantics for efficient environmental/ecological
data management ·
Environmental/ecological data integration using
metadata/semantics ·
Environmental/ecological metadata/semantics integration ·
Engineering environmental/ecological applications
using metadata/semantics ·
Metadata/semantics frameworks for
environmental/ecological systems ·
Metadata/semantics-based decision support

·

Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to
submit both Research and Application papers following the IEEE
Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced,
including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. You
can confirm the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Author Guidelines at one of
the following web pages: The regular papers (Research
or/and Application papers) should be (max) 6 pages long. They will be carefully
evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and
clarity of exposition. The papers should be submitted electronically via
CISIS-09 website. If there is any problem during submission please contact
the Workshop Co-Chairs.
In addition to
regular papers, we also solicit submissions of position papers articulating vision statements describing
challenging future directions, critiquing research problems, and placing new
research questions. Authors are encouraged to use 'Position Paper' in the title of these papers to distinguish
them from regular papers (Research or Application Paper). The position papers
should be prepared using the IEEE CS format, two columns layout,
single-spaced, 10-point, and using page numbers. The length should not exceed
4 pages (including figures and tables). Position papers will be reviewed and
published in the proceedings of the workshop by IEEE Computer Society Press. To assist in the review
process, authors are also encouraged to use one or more keywords in
their submission, selecting from the following list (if possible): Reasoning; Multi-agent system;
Environmental modeling; Sensor network, Ontology; Intelligent System; Decision-support system;
Semantics; Expert System; Data/Knowledge Sharing;
Data/Knowledge Integration; Data/Knowledge Management; Awareness;
Prediction; Diagnosis Submission
implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and
present the paper.
The papers should be submitted via CISIS’09 Web site. Authors whose papers have been
accepted and presented at CISIS'09, including both conference and workshop
papers, are invited to submit their extended and revised papers to special
issues. For more information please visit http://www.cisis-conference.eu/conf/index.php/special-issues-of-international-journals. IMPORTANT DATES
