WCAMA 2014 - 5th Workshop of Applied Computing for the Management of the Environment and Natural Resources

WCAMA 2014 ? 5th Workshop of Applied Computing for the Management of the Environment and Natural Resources
Co-located with XXXIV Brazilian Computer Society Congress
Brasília/DF, Brazil
July 28-31, 2014
The 5th 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 amounts of data; ii) techniques for data analysis and data visualization; iii) optimization and control of existing data and the integration of data.
