[Talks@IDSIA] Ioannis Athanasiadis - Software engineering for the environment: Setting up a research agenda for the next decade

Dear Colleagues, today Ioannis Athanasiadis will give us a talk titled "Software engineering for the environment: Setting up a research agenda for the next decade". The talk will start at 11:30 and it will take place ion IDSIA's meeting room. While environmental software has been around for some decades now, it still remains an emerging field that attracts little attention of computer scientists. Environment is a broad, interdisciplinary field and environmental applications require a significant investment from software engineers to understand the domain. This talk will summarize author experiences in developing and evaluating environmental software, and present open issues in the field and propose a research agenda for the years to come. Short CV Dr Ioannis N. Athanasiadis is a Lecturer with the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department of Democritus University of Thrace, in Xanthi, Greece. Previously, he was a researcher at IDSIA, in Lugano, Switzerland. His areas of expertise include software engineering, intelligent information systems, environmental informatics, software agents, decision support systems, knowledge engineering, metadata and ontologies and machine learning. ___________________________________________ Scuola universitaria professionale della Svizzera italiana Dipartimento tecnologie innovative Istituto Dalle Molle di studi sull’intelligenza artificiale Dr Andrea Emilio Rizzoli Professore Galleria 2 CH-6928 Manno T +41 (0)58 666 66 64 F +41 (0)58 666 66 61 andrea(a)idsia.ch www.idsia.ch
