Integrated Modeling Workshop 2008
Updates
Collaborative Approaches to Integrated Modeling: Better Integration for Better Decision Making
December 10-12, 2008
JW Marriott Desert Ridge Hotel, Phoenix, AZ
At the OEI Environmental Information Symposium 2008
Workshop Goals
The USEPA convened this workshop to establish and initiate a community of practice for integrated modeling science and technology. The workshop served to survey modelers within and outside EPA to:
- Identify current and emerging practices and approaches to model integration and interoperability;
- Identify and prioritize the technical challenges related to model and modeling framework interoperability and determine what is required to address these issues;
- Identify the existing groups and initiatives that are tackling similar issues and determine the gaps;
- Determine the role/ mission of the community of practice on integrated environmental modeling science and technology;
- Define initial projects for community participation.
