Second Workshop on Software Research and Climate Change

An interesting event to attend, especially for engineers with climate change interests.

Second International Workshop on Software Research and Climate Change, Cape Town, South Africa, 3 May, 2010, Part of ICSE 2010
______________________________________
This workshop will explore the contributions that software research can make to the challenge of tackling climate change. Software is a critical enabling technology in nearly all aspects of climate change, from the computational models used by climate scientists to improve our understanding of the impact of human activities on earth systems, through to the information and control systems needed to build an effective carbon-neutral society. The intent of the workshop is to explore how software research can contribute to this challenge, to build a community of researchers interested in responding to the challenge, and to map out a research agenda.
