<br>
The 10th International Conference on Ecological Informatics
(ICEI) from 24 - 28 September, 2018 in Jena, Germany under the
theme <i><b>'Translating Ecological Data into Knowledge and
Decisions in a Rapidly Changing World'</b></i> will provide
a forum to address this question - both from an ecological and a
computer science point of view.<br>
<br>
We cordially invite special sessions on all aspects of
eco-informatics and computational ecology including but not
limited to:<br>
• Novel concepts and tools for the acquisition, management,
analysis and synthesis of ecological data, including genomic and
paleo-ecological data<br>
• Understanding and modeling ecosystem functioning, phenology
and evolution<br>
• Informing decisions on environmental issues like
sustainability, ecosystem services, climate change and
biodiversity.<br>
<br>
The call for <b><i>special session</i></b> is open and
proposals are invited till <i><b>15th December 2017</b></i>.
The proposal should provide a title, brief scope of the session
and details of the session’s organizer(s) along with the
duration.<br>
