"How can steadily advancing sensor and information technology assist to take advantage of steadily growing and diversifying data in ecology?"
The 10th International Conference on Ecological Informatics from 24 - 28 September, 2018 in Jena, Germany under the theme 'Translating Ecological Data into Knowledge and Decisions in a Rapidly Changing World' will provide a forum to address this question - both from an ecological and a computer science point of view.
We cordially invite special sessions on all aspects of ecoinformatics and computational ecology including but not limited to:
• Novel concepts and tools for the acquisition, management, analysis and synthesis of ecological data, including genomic and paleo-ecological data
• Understanding and modeling ecosystem functioning, phenology and evolution
• Informing decisions on environmental issues like sustainability, ecosystem services, climate change and biodiversity.
Special session proposals should provide a title and brief scope of the session as well as details of the session’s organizer(s), and should be
submitted by *15 December 2017*. Please submit your proposals via the submission system EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icei18.
