| ECOSUD 2007 is the Sixth International Conference in the well-established
series on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development. The meetings provide
a unique forum for the presentation and discussion of recent work
on different aspects of ecosystems and sustainable development, including
physical sciences and modelling.
ECOSUD aims to help create a new science in line with Prigogine’s
statement that “at all levels we observe events associated
with the emergence of novelties and narrative elements, which we
may associate with the creative power of nature”.
ECOSUD is not only a forestage to present novel research related
to ecological problems from all over the world; it also gives opportunities
for new emergent ideas in science arising from the cross fertilization
of different disciplines including mathematical models and eco-informatics,
evolutionary thermodynamics and biodiversity, structures in ecosystems
modelling and landscapes to mention but a few.
The aim of the Conference is to encourage and facilitate the interdisciplinary
communication between scientists, engineers and professionals working
in ecological systems and sustainable development. Emphasis will
be given to those areas that will most benefit from the application
of scientific methods for sustainable development, including the
conservation of natural systems around the world. The Conference
objectives have evolved over the years, seeking to integrate thermodynamics,
ecology and economics into “ecodynamics”.
This successful series first started in Peniscola, Spain (1997);
and continued in Lemnos, Greece (1999); Alicante, Spain (2001);
Siena, Italy (2003); and Cadiz, Spain (2005).
