The Pan Pacific Hotel, Singapore
http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/civil/conf/HIC2004

 

Hosted by
Hydroinformatics Society of Singapore

Jointly Organised by

International Association for Hydrological Sciences (IAHS)

International Water Association (IWA)

Call for Abstracts
Hydroinformatics, a cross-disciplinary field of study, combines technological, human-sociological and more general environmental interests, including an ethical perspective. It covers the application of information technology in the widest sense to problems of the aquatic environment. Its aim is to equip managers and engineers working in water-related arenas, with available information and technology, to make rapid and robust decisions as they address the increasing challenges of ensuring a sustainable water environment and adequate water resources for generations to come.

HIC2004 marks the first time in which the Hydroinformatics Conference will be held in Asia. This is a significant step in the continuous effort of three international associations (IAHR, IAHS and IWA) to actively promote and accelerate both research and applications of hydroinformatics in this part of the world. The conference will serve as a perfect venue for researchers, scientists, engineers, and managers from Europe and North America to meet with their Asian counterparts to understand water related issues faced here. At the same time, the meeting will serve as a catalyst for the Asian researchers, scientists, engineers and managers to play a more active role in this rapidly growing and exciting field.

The conference topics include:

Data mining and Knowledge Discovery
Artificial Neural Networks
Optimization and Evolutionary Algorithms
Chaos Theory
Fuzzy Logic
Forecasting and Data Assimilation
Numerical Methods
Hydrodynamic, Ecology and Water Quality Modelling
Decision Support and Management Systems
Geographic Information Systems and Virtual Imaging
Integration of Technologies and Systems
Data Acquisition and Management
Internet-based technologies and Applications
Uncertainty and Risk Analysis

Prospective authors are invited to submit an abstract of not more than 250 words electronically via the conference website at:
