Eco-Informatics and Natural Resource Management

Overview Resource managers face significant information technology (IT) problems when integrating ecological or environmental information to make decisions.

To alleviate these problems, participants recommended informatics research in four IT areas: modeling and simulation, data quality, information integration and ontologies, and social and human aspects. Additional recommendations to assure cycles of innovation in the domain were addressed.
