Dear colleagues!

We invite you to take part in the International Symposium 'Information Systems and WEB-portals on Biodiversity of Species & Ecosystems' which will be held in Borok, Yaroslavl province, Russia, November 28^th to 1^st December, 2006. The previous Symposium was held in Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Science (1-4 December 2003). It attracted attention of a large number of specialists both from Russia and foreign countries. Nearly 200 scientists participated in the previous Symposium. In recent years, especially after the publication of the materials of the previous Symposium (2003), many requests for "IT -2006" organization have been received. More detailed information about the Symposium held in 2003 is presented at URL address: http://www.zin.ru/conferences/isbse/index.html

The next symposium is suggested to include the discussion of theoretical and practical problems, connected with the most actual problem of automation of scientific studies in the field of biodiversity.

SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Topic areas include:

1. Collection & Taxonomic Databases; Electronic Catalogues of taxonomic names
2. Virtual collections of species images and Interactive keys
3. Information Systems for monitoring of Natural Ecosystems using ground truth and remote sensing data
4. Web-portals on Biodiversity in the Internet and Information Systems on CD, DVD and etc.
5. Information Systems on Economic Important Species: resource and rare species, species harmful for environment and agriculture (quarantine species and invasive species).
6. Specialized software for the biodiversity research at population, species and community levels.
7. Problem-oriented automatic program complexes for the assessment of genetic and genome diversity at population and species levels.
