*** CALL FOR PAPERS ***

The 4th Workshop of Applied Computing for the Management of the
Environment and Natural Resources (WCAMA) has the main goal to promote
the integration, in an effective way, between computing (methodologies
and tools) and environment (politics and management).  Natural resources
management is a complex and dynamic activity. It demands the integration
between actors in the social, political, and technological fields to be
effectively developed.  Specifically in computer science, there are
three main challenges to develop methodologies and tools to natural
resources management: i) data management and communication to huge
number of data; ii) techniques for data analysis and visualization; iii)
optimization and control of existent data and the integration of new
data.

*** SCOPE ***

The workshop will cover the whole range of research and applications in
methodologies, techniques and computational tools applied to environment
management and natural resources, including (but not limited to):

 Control of air pollution
 Environmental fragility
 Environmental monitoring
 Environmental policies
 Environmental readaptation
 Environmental sanitation and waste treatment
 Environmental sustainability
 Flooded areas and wetlands
 Global environmental changes
 Health and environment
 Land use and land cover change modelling
 Landscape ecology
 Natural and renewable resources management
 Noise and environment
 Priority areas for conservation
 Reduction of gas emissions
 Society and environment
 Soil pollution
 Solid waste management
 Species distribution modeling
 Transport and environment
 Urban ecology

*** PAPERS FORMAT ***

WCAMA 2013 will accept two types of submission:
 Full Papers between 6 (six) and 10 (ten) pages. These papers will be
presented orally.
