Colloquium on SPATIO-TEMPORAL DATA ANALYSIS

Environmental data and applications have some peculiar features that make
them distinct from the typical application in applied computer science.
During recent years, this has led to the emergence of Environmental
Informatics or Enviromatics (Environmental Information and Decision
Support Systems). This is a novel field of Applied Informatics which is
concerned with the application of computer science techniques to
environmental problems. The same methodological and conceptual framework
is shared by Computational Sustainability: “an interdisciplinary field
that aims to apply techniques from computer science, information science,
operations research, applied mathematics, and statistics for balancing
environmental, economic, and societal needs for sustainable development”.
The ultimate aim of these new and evolving areas of modern research is to
develop computational and mathematical models to support decision making
in challenging real world problems denoted by the often misused or vaguely
defined concept of “sustainability”.
The colloquium will provide cutting-edge data analysis and modeling tools
for a variety of practical applications by presenting concepts,
algorithms, and case studies related to environmental problems. Attendees
can expect a series of presentations on spatio-temporal data organization,
analysis, modelling.
The colloquium will be useful for beginning users as well as advanced
researchers.
