  2. Eco-Informatics & Decision MakingWhy we are here…. • To define a computer science and social research agenda to help decision makers who use eco-informatics artifacts. • Who are these decision makers? • National, State, Local and NGO resource managers • Those who carry out government policy, and provide information to those who do (NOT legislative process….) • Our report will serve as the basis for research & development efforts at NSF (2005), USGS, and EPA.

  3. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Informatics The BDEI Context • PCAST Report and NBII • BDEI 1 -- 2001 Identify relevant existing R&D and BDEI problems • 14 small NSF research-initiation projects – mostly in support of ecological research • BDEI 2 – February 2003 -- PI’s meeting • Semantic Data Integration -- Kate Beard-Tisdale • Spatial Data and Remote / InSitu Sensing – Geof Hennebry • Modeling and Forecasting – Jim Clark • Putting it into Practice –Rob Stevenson

  4. Eco-Informatics & Decision Making From Here to There…by Jan. 15? • What’s the Problem? • Two Plenaries & 5 Breakout Sessions • Policy, Data Presentation, Data Gaps, Tools, Indicators • What are the Research Issues & the nature of that Research? • One Plenary & 5 Breakout Sessions • Integration, Ontologies, Modeling/Simulation, Data Quality, and Human Centeredness • Critique (to the tune of a good dinner) & Review • How the Research Solves the Problems? • Breakout Session III pulls together results from Breakout I and II …We take these results & with your help  report.

  5. Acknowledgements • Anne Fiala, Michael Finch • Steve Abercrombie, Aaron Crosland, Gigi Sanchez, Hiroshi Sato • Janos Fulop and Stefan Jensen • NSF • USGS, NASA, EPA • The Prairie Home Companion…"...travel safely, and we're all looking forward to hearing what 'eco-informatics' means, when you get home..." 

  6. Setting the Stage…. • Sylvia Spengler -- the NSF Point of View • John Schnase -- Dessert with The PCAST report • Ed Hovy -- EPA-AIR – A NSF DG Case Study • William Sonntag – Government Decision Making • Small Group Discussions & Feedback to Plenary • 9:00 Adjourn
