2011 Modeling Sensing, and Environmental Systems Workshop (MoSES 2011)

LNCC, August 8-12, 2011

Abstract

A small group of researchers and graduate students spent a few days discussing DDDAS issues for contaminant identification and tracking, wildland fires, and environmental modeling of the Amazon region. We had a few talks per day and spent the rest of the day in discussions. This was the third in a series of related workshops, the first was in 2006 and the second was in 2008.

This workshop was supported in part by the National Science Foundation, the GEOMA project, CAPES, FAPERJ, and LNCC.
