Call for Paper
First World Congress on Information Technology in Environmental Engineering
ITEE 2003, Technical University of Gdansk, Poland, June 24 - 27, 2003.
http://www.icsc-naiso.org/conferences/itee2003/index.html
Acquisition, storage and processing of environmental information are
becoming vital to preserving the quality of human life. Potentially
dangerous changes are happening in the atmosphere, oceans, animal
habitats and places where hazardous materials are used, or have been
discarded without adequate environmental protections.
In recent years, information technology has become significant to all
scientific groups and fields involved in environment
engineering. Knowledge based systems which enable the study of
environmental changes have been developed, are being extended to
manage those environments. New paradigms for designing objects to
enable easy disassembly and recovery of components contribute to
reuse. Developments in exploiting alternative energy sources are
reducing dependence on non-renewable resources. Surveillance
techniques enable tracking of persons likely to threaten the lives of
persons or their environment.
The ITEE 2003 conference will provide a forum for exchanging
information among pollution engineers, knowledge engineers and
scientists. Some of the objectives include discussion of projects for
long-term storage of data, data update and validation, and the
consistency of data. Research topics and funding opportunities
discussed at the conference will be of interest to all
researchers. Another objective is to discuss means of assessing the
potential of individual teams in implementation and modelling of
large-scale systems.

CALL FOR INVITED SESSIONS
The organization of invited sessions is encouraged. Prospective organizers are requested to send a session proposal - consisting of 4-5 invited papers - to the general chair and respective area co-chair. Invited sessions should preferably start with the title and the purpose of the session and a tutorial paper. The registration fee of the session organizer will be waived, if at least 4 authors of invited papers register to the conference.
CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS
Several workshops/tutorials are planned for ITEE 2003. Each
workshop will focus on a particular topic, and consist of several
presentations and open discussions. The proposal for a workshop
should include the title, topics covered, proposed speakers, targeted
audiences, and estimated length (hours) of the workshop. The
proposal should be submitted to the general chair and respective area
co-chair by September 30, 2002, and the NAISO Planning department:
