●会议背景介绍： 

Environment and climate change has become one of the most pressing global issues today. Like other complex problems, the global sustainability issue needs effective knowledge and service engineering support and tools to enable researchers have a better understanding of the issue, and to provide systematic, intelligent, effective services and decision supports for the governments, enterprises and individual citizens to better manage their daily operation, behavior and working processes. Domain experts working on climate change/sustainable development related areas are now affiliated with different disciplines, such as Environment Science and Engineering, Architecture, Law and Regulations, Material Sciences, Nuclear Energy Research, Civil Engineering, etc. This clearly reflects the cross-disciplinary nature of environment sustainability as a research area. Thus, building and managing inter-domain knowledge to encourage and facilitate the accumulation, communication and exchange of environment knowledge is necessary, so that the knowledge models of different domain experts can be synergized, and the causal relationships and influence can be better understood. These challenges are global in nature, and pervade all aspects of the computing society.

We invite active researchers and practitioners in all aspects of this grand challenge to join us for presentations and discussions at KASTLES, as par of the SOCA Conference in Matsue, Japan.
