During the ISESS 1999 Conference in Dunedin, New Zealand, a number of
"hot" topics in Environmental Information Systems (EIS) and
Environmental
 Decision Support Systems (EDSS) were identified. One of the topics that

 seemed to concern many of us was related to the issue of integration.

Integration in EIS and EDSS comes in several flavours, including:

Integration of environmental information: data and information
management
 strategies, integration tools and software, data policies.

Integration of environmental methodologies, software components and
tools
 into decision making systems: monitoring, environmental indicators,
 planning, remote sensing, simulation, geographical information,
 statistical tools, artificial intelligence based methods,
visualisation,
 spatial decision support, etc.

Integration of isolated systems into comprehensive scientific,
 administrative and public networks: data and metadata standards,
 environmental data catalogues, use of hypermedia and Internet, policies

 for public environmental information.

Integration issues are of general concern for scientists, planners,
 engineers, administration and the IT professionals building
 environmental software systems.




Location:

  Grand Hotel
  Zell am See, Austia
