Elsevier is proud to announce the publication of the new international journal Ecological Informatics. Prospective authors are invited to submit their paper to this exciting new journal.
Description
Ecological Informatics is a new international journal devoted to the publication of high quality,
peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of ecoinformatics, computational ecology and systems ecology, and special issues on topics of current
interest. The scope of the journal includes principles of information processing from genomes to ecosystems, computational approaches
to ecological scales and complexity, computational approaches to ecosystems analysis, synthesis, simulation and forecasting, ecological
pattern analysis at nano- to macroscales, management of ecological data. The nature of the journal is interdisciplinary, publishing high
quality papers on information processing in ecosystems, ecological data management as well as computation, and the crossover between
biology/ecology and computer/information sciences.
Ecological Informatics publishes research in the following areas:
•Theory
and applications of ecoinformatics
•Principles of information processing from genomes to ecosystems
•Novel developments
in bio-inspired computation, machine learning and artificial intelligence
•Spatial-temporal simulation of ecological entities,
ecosystem structures and behaviours by artificial life, cellular automata and adaptive agents
•Knowledge discovery and forecasting
of ecological processes and patterns, ecosystem functions and behaviours by bio-inspired computation, machine learning and artificial
intelligence
•Processing of uncertain ecological data by fuzzy logic and qualitative reasoning
•Standardisation and
integration of ecological data and models by meta-information concepts and object-oriented programming
•Ecological data warehousing
including data archival, retrieval, sharing, mining and visualisation
•Ecological data acquisition, spatial analysis and visualisation
by GIS and remote sensing
•Computational frameworks for decision making in relation to environmental sustainability, biodiversity
and global environmental changes
•Education and training in ecoinformatics.
