        Second International IFIP Symposium on Environmental Software Systems
 
       Special Call for Papers on Agriculture, Forestry, Ecology and Information
 
 ===============================================================================
 
 For the Second International IFIP Symposium on Environmental Software Systems
 we especially encourage the submission of papers related to the following
 topics:
 
         Agriculture and Information
 
         Forestry and Information
 
         Ecology and Information
 
 Agriculture, forestry and information: within these sessions we would like to
 present and discuss software systems providing real improvements for the
 management, especially environmentally sound ones.
 
 Ecology and information: the objectives of these sessions are related to
 theoretical problems about the (self)organization and parametrization of
 complex adaptive systems, from an ecological point of view as well as from
 the informatics.
 
 For all three sessions we would like to have both views: users of software
 systems and their demands, and developer with a presentation of their
 strategies.
 
 
 !!! Note that the views above are some of our views. However, we invite any
     contribution related to one of these topics !!!
 
 
 For papers related to these topics, we intend to organize specialized sessions.
 The  reviewing of papers related to these topics will take place in a specialized
 subgroup from the program committee, including colleagues specialized in agriculture,
 forestry and ecology.
 
 The deadline for papers (related to these topics only) is extended until
                          -----------------------------
         NOVEMBER 1, 1996.
