Scope -----

Due to increasing practical needs, the software support of environmental protection and research tasks is growing in importance and scope.

ISESS 1997 is the following of a very successful conference which was held at Penn State University, Malvern, PA, USA in 1995. This conference was the first international conference on Environmental Informatics co-sponsored by the International Federation of Information Processing (IFIP) and the German Computer Society (GI).

The purpose of the symposium is to present and discuss the progress and actual trends in this area in terms of methods, tools and state-of-the-art applications.

Topics and methods
------------------

Topics of ISESS 1997 include all application areas of environmental protection and all informatics methods thereof, like

Conference location
-------------------
ISESS Whistler 1997: A conference on environmental informatics with a venue that you'll not forget.

Whistler Mountain and its companion Blackcomb form the backdrop for arguably the premier ski and outdoors alpine recreation location of North America, loacted just 105 kms North of Vancouver (rated amongst the 10 most beautiful cities in the world). The route to Whistler uses the breathtaking Sea to Sky highway North from the city.

The conference venue is the elegant Delta Whistler Resort. Special conference rates have been negotiated (CDN$ 109+tax). Arrangement for computers and connections to the internet are available right at the hotel.

Transportation from Vancouver airport to Whistler is very inexpensive and frequent.
