                                    SCOPE
The 7th symposium "Computer Science for Environmental Protection" will focus
on discussion and documentation of computer science applications concerning
environmental protection.  The emphasis will be on current developments and
future trends, highlighting techniques for integrating a variety of methods.
An additional priority is to have an intense exchange of ideas between com-
puter scientists and practitioners.

                        COMPUTER SCIENCE TECHNIQUES:
                    Database techniques and applications
                     Geographic information processing
                 Modelling tools, modelling and simulation
                           Knowledge based systems
                     Integration of various techniques

                           AREAS OF APPLICATION:
                              Waste management
                              Soil protection
              Protection of water, esp. groundwater protection
                             Monitoring networks
                       (Ecological) Systems research
                            Environment and traffic
           Administrative and corporate environmental information

                              SPECIAL FEATURE:
As a special feature of the Ulm symposium, we encourage the discussion of
global environmental aspects of computer science.  We expect a high scien-
tific standard combined with significant contributions for applications.
This will be supported through invitations to speakers of international
reputation.
In addition to plenary and topical talks, workshops are planned.

Social events will take place during each evening of the symposium.

                              SUBMITTING PAPERS
Four copies of proposals for talks should be submitted not later than Sep-
tember 1, 1992.  Papers should be complete, and should include an abstract
and a list of keywords.  Mailing address for submission is:

     7th Symposium
     "Computer Science for Environmental Protection"
     Prof. Dr. Dr. F.J. Radermacher
     Forschungsinstitut fuer anwendungsorientierte
     Wissensverarbeitung (FAW)
     Helmholtzstr. 16
     W-7900 Ulm
     Germany

The program committee will decide on acceptance of papers by October 15,
1992.  Papers should be not longer than 12 pages.

Final versions of accepted papers will be due to the organization not later
than December 1, 1992.  Accepted papers will appear as a special volume of
Springer's new series "Informatik Aktuell" (succeeding the "Informatik
Fachberichte").  This proceedings volume will be available at the beginning
of the conference.

Talks will last 30 minutes, including discussion.  Presentations may be
given in English, although the majority of talks will be in German.
