New or improved techniques, as well as innovative applications are welcome. A special emphasis will be given to the application of knowledge-based systems, expert systems, decision support systems, machine learning, data mining, case-based reasoning, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, soft computing, spatial and temporal reasoning, planning, multiagent systems, and fuzzy logic to all areas of environmental sciences.

Authors planning to submit a contribution must contact as soon as possible the Workshop Chairs by e-mail indicating the type of contribution: a paper (regular or short) and/or a poster. A provisional title should be provided, including an abstract (maximum half-page).

Authors should electronically send their original paper or/and poster to the Workshop Chairs (emails below) by February 6, 2009. The length of each paper including figures should be limited to 10 pages (regular papers) and 6 pages (short papers) using font size of 10 points.
