AIAEP Introduction

The evolution of the climatic changes from the recent years has raised new challenges for the researchers in the environmental sciences that has to find new solutions to the environmental problems. Artificial intelligence can provide efficient tools for most environmental problems of monitoring, analysis, interpretation, forecasting, management, and control. The development of interdisciplinary research groups between specialists from environmental sciences and artificial intelligence can lead to new ideas and innovative applications in the area of environmental protection systems. We hope that AIAEP’2009 will be a good opportunity for the researchers to exchange ideas and to initiate new collaborations in this interdiciplinary area, as both, Artificial intelligence and Environmental protection are domains of strategic interest.
