Environmental research issues that have been addressed included: data mining, air pollution modelling, remote sensing, image analysis, simulation techniques and information systems. A round table gave the opportunity to the participants to further discuss on research topics related to environmental problems, discuss on future plans and propose further means of strengthening the activities of the working group.
Furthermore, workshop participants took part in a series of events organised throughout the week, including three short workshops about the 7th Framework Programme co-organised with the European Commission and a familarization day at FORTH. On the occasion of the 15th Anniversary of ERCIM, a Celebration event was held.
Overall it was an enjoyable meeting with interesting scientific aspects as well as pleasant social activities. As part of the ERCIM Meetings - Crete 2004 the workshop especially benefited from the excellent organization of this whole event.
