ENVIRONMENTAL MODELLING & SOFTWARE

英文简介

Environmental Modelling & Software publishes contributions, in the form of research articles, reviews and short communications, on recent advances in environmental modelling and/or software. The aim is to improve our capacity to represent, understand, predict or manage the behaviour of environmental systems at all practical scales, and to communicate those improvements to a wide scientific and professional audience.It seeks presentation of: ? Generic frameworks, techniques and issues which either integrate a range of disciplines and sectors or apply across a range ? Model development, model evaluation, process identification and applications in diverse sectors of the environment (as outlined below) provided they reveal insights and contribute to the store of knowledge. Insights can relate to the generality and limitations of the modelling, methods, the model application and/or the systems modelled. Insights should be ones that are generalizable in some way and are likely to be of interest to those studying other systems and, preferably, other system types.? Development and application of environmental software, information and decision support systems? Real-world applications of software technologies - particularly state-of-the-art environmental software able to deal with complex requirements, conflicting user perspectives, and/or evolving data structures. Aspects related to software usability, reliability, verification and validation should be backed up with quantitative results as much as possible. Development and maintenance costs, and adoption and penetration of the software in the target user groups should be addressed. Licensing issues and open source access should be clearly specified.? Issues and methods related to the integrated modeling, assessment and management of environmental systems - including relevant policy and institutional analysis, public participation principles and methods, decision making methods, model integration, quality assurance and evaluation of models, data and procedures.

中文简介

环境建模与软件以研究文章、评论和简短交流的形式发表关于环境建模和/或软件的最新进展的贡献。其目的是提高我们在所有实际尺度上表现、理解、预测或管理环境系统行为的能力，并向广泛的科学和专业观众宣传这些改进。它寻求的是:?通用框架、技术和问题，可以集成一系列学科和领域，也可以跨领域应用?模型开发、模型评估、过程识别和应用于环境的不同部门(如下所述)，前提是它们能够揭示见解并有助于知识的存储。洞察可以与建模、方法、模型应用和/或建模的系统的通用性和局限性相关。洞察力应该是那些在某种程度上是可概括的，并且可能对那些研究其他系统，最好是其他系统类型的人感兴趣。?环境软件、信息和决策支持系统的开发和应用?软件技术的实际应用——特别是最先进的环境软件，能够处理复杂的需求、冲突的用户视角和/或不断发展的数据结构。与软件可用性、可靠性、验证和验证相关的方面应该尽可能多地得到定量结果的支持。应该解决开发和维护成本，以及在目标用户组中采用和渗透软件的问题。许可证问题和开放源码访问应该明确指定。?与环境系统集成建模、评估和管理相关的问题和方法——包括相关政策和制度分析、公众参与原则和方法、决策方法、模型集成、质量保证以及模型、数据和程序的评估。
