Proceedings of the ICCBR 2009 Workshops

Sarah Jane Delany — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:29:18 PST

In 2009 the workshop programme includes four workshops, two of which are workshops in well recognised CBR research areas continuing the well established,successful workshops on Case-Based Reasoning in the Health Sciences and on Uncertainty, Knowledge Discovery and Similarity. There are also two new workshops which explore developing areas of CBR research, namely Reasoning from Experiences on the Web (WebCBR) and Case-Based Reasoning for Computer Games.

A Web and Mobile System for Environmental Decision Support

James Carswell et al. — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:19:37 PDT

Current field data collection methods for many of today’s scientific and other observer/monitor type applications are still entrenched in the “clipboard age”, requiring manual data transcription to a database management system at some (often much) later date, and only allows for visualisation and analysis of recently captured field data “back in the lab”. This chapter is targeted at progressing today’s pen & paper methodology into the spatially enabled mobile computing age of realtime multi-media data input, integration, visualisation, and analysis simultaneously both in the field and the lab. The system described is customized to the specific needs of the Canadian Great Lakes Laboratory for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Fish Habitat Management Group requirements for fish species at risk assessment, but is ready for adaptation to other environmental agency applications (e.g. forestry, health-pesticide monitoring, agriculture, etc.). The chapter is ideally suited to all agencies responsible for collecting field data of any type that have not yet moved to a state-of-the-art mobile and wireless data collection, visualisation, and analysis work methodology
