Conference on Intelligent Modeling to Improve Stormwater Management

改善雨水管理的智能建模会议wayne C. HuberOregon State university该奖项提供资金，以扩大科学家和工程师对雨水建模的研讨会/工程会议的参与，重点是城市环境。研讨会将于2007年7月在加利福尼亚州阿卡塔的洪堡州立大学举行，与会者包括来自世界各地的暴雨模拟领域的主要研究人员，以及初入职场的教员和研究生。在美国，城市雨水被广泛认为是造成水质损害的主要原因。已经开发了许多计算机模型，用于模拟雨水通过城市排水系统的路线，并模拟其对接收水体质量的影响。然而，各种模型的局限性和优点都存在许多不确定性。因此，研究人员和水质管理人员很难为特定的应用做出适当的模型的智能选择。本次研讨会将(i)评估关于这些模型的知识现状；（ii）评估其优缺点；（iii）为研究提出建议，以开发利用网络信息学新能力的改进模型。计划在网上发表研讨会上的论文，研讨会结果的摘要将发表在同行评议的期刊上。

CBET 0733389Conference on Intelligent Modeling to Improve Storm Water ManagementWayne C. HuberOregon State UniversityThis award provides funds to broaden the participation of scientists and engineers in a workshop/engineering conference on the storm-water modeling with an emphasis on urban environments. The workshop will be held at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California in July 2007, and it will include leading researchers from around the world in the field of storm-water modeling, as well as early career faculty and graduate students. Urban storm water is widely recognized as a principal cause of water-quality impairment in the United States. Many computer models have been developed and are in use to simulate the routing of storm water through urban drainage systems and to model its effects on the quality of receiving water bodies. However, many uncertainties exist concerning the limitations and advantages of the various models. Consequently, it is difficult for both researchers and water quality managers to make intelligent selections of appropriate models for specific applications. This workshop will (i) evaluate the current state of knowledge concerning these models; (ii) evaluate their advantages and disadvantages; and (iii) develop recommendations for research to develop improved models that take advantage of new capabilities in cyber-informatics. On-line publication of papers presented at the workshop is planned, and a summary of the workshop results will be published in a peer-evaluate journal.
