ENVIRONMENT, BIOLOGY, ECOLOGY AND MEDICINE

(- Meteorology and Climate, - Growth Dynamics, - Imaging and Visualisation) The main goal is to enhance the transdisciplinarity and to facilitate contacts and dialogs between computer scientists and specialists of Environmental Sciences. Since 10 years the modelling process took benefits from recent (and less recent) techniques of computer science : Object-Oriented Languages, Discrete Event Simulation, Concepts of Agent and Actor, Fuzzy Logic, UML, model - GIS interface, Web-based simulation, environment management, predictive models of forest growth, fishing, climate and other biological processes. Papers dealing with ecological modelling (in a wider sense) are welcome in the areas of: Applications: Environment managing, Waste managing, Ecosystem dynamics (terrestrial and  oceanographic ecology) Population dynamics (diseases & epidemics, changes in biodiversity, genome, predator-prey relationships, fishing...), Population behaviour, Individual behaviour, involving methodologies such as : Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Interactive Simulation, High-Performance Computing, Languages, Modelling Techniques, Simulation Methodologies & Tools, Synthetic Environment, Virtual Reality, Petri nets, DEVS and Bond Graphs. Modelling and simulation have an important role in structuring biological, medical and ecological systems. The intrinsic complexity and non-linearity of these types of systems need continuous and discrete simulation methodology, soft computing methodology in order to handle the different degrees of uncertainty, as well as virtual reality methodology describing the time and space dependent complexity. Topics are biological systems, medical systems and ecosystems with the domain specific topics such as molecular modelling, genetic algorithms in biosystems, fuzzy sets and neural nets in biosystems, physiology, cardiology, anesthesia, cancer, circulatory system, respiratory system, renal system, biomechanics, agricultural production, simulation of global change, ecotechnology and eco-engineering, GIS, population dynamics, etc...Simulation of Patient Care, Quality of Service, Hospital Logistics, Simulation of Disease Proliferation, Virtual Reality in Surgical Procedures, Simulating Biological Phenomena and Organs, Simulation as a Tool for Diagnosis, Simulation of Emergency Procedures (Disaster Gaming), General Medical Simulations
