Advance Information RESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 94 - TORONTO Theme: DECISION SUPPORT - 2001 Date: September 12 - 16, 1994 Location: Delta Chelsea Inn, Toronto Hosted by: Forestry Canada and the Resource Technology Institute In 1994, you and your organization will find great interest in an international conference that finally addresses an important issue in the use of information technology in natural resource management - decision support. From September 12-16, 1994, resource managers, scientists, and technology developers from government and industry will gather at the Delta Chelsea Inn in Toronto. This will not be just another conference. A mix of information technologies in a range of natural resource disciplines will be presented and discussed. The technologies include decision support systems, remote sensing, artificial intelligence (expert systems, neural networks), geographic information systems, data and knowledge bases, and visualization. The natural resource disciplines include forestry, agriculture, environment, lands, water and oceans, fish and wildlife, and parks. Issues will be debated and conclusions drawn for guiding the development and use of technologies in decision support. A special event will bring all together in a resource technology marketplace, which will include a cross-section of vendors from mainstream to those in specialized niches. This conference, known as Resource Technology `94, is being hosted by the Petawawa National Forestry Institute of Forestry Canada, and the Resource Technology Institute of Fort Collins, Colorado. It is one of a series of conferences that have been held since 1988, normally every two years. This is the first time this conference has been held in Canada. It will provide an opportunity for greater Canadian involvement on the timely issue of decision support. RT `94 will truly be international with cooperation from many countries. The conference will also provide a forum for US/Canada resource technology issues. This "hands-across-the-border" approach will encourage participation from federal, provincial, and state agencies who have a role in natural resources. Plan now to attend RT `94, and please consider sponsorship, or participation by way of paper or poster presentations and panel discussions.
