RE:	[ET-ANN] 2nd Call for Abstracts

Hello Everyone

The 1st Call for Abstracts for the Internet Conference on Material Flow
Analysis of Integrated Bio-Systems, March-Oct 2000 (see
http://www.ias.unu.edu/proceedings/icibs/ic-mfa for scope, conference theme
and other instructions) has received a good response so far; 10 abstracts
have been approved and the rest are in the review process. I enclose the
tentative list of the titles of papers which show the range of topics that
the scope of the Conference covers.

We are looking for another 20 abstract submissions and would like to invite
you to consider making a presentation of your work in one of the 11 themes
(see below). The deadline for the 2nd Call for Abstracts is 31 Dec. 1999.

An abstract should not be more than 1 page in size and may contain text,
table, diagrams. It should include the title of paper, full name(s) and
postal and email address(es) of author(s), abstract and keywords. Please
send your abstract(s) to foo@swipnet.se.   All submitted abstracts will be
reviewed by the Planning Group of the Conference. Authors should wait for
formal notification of  acceptance of the abstracts before proceeding into
the preparation of the full paper(s).

Registration:
Registration to receive news and updates that is useful for your
participation at the Conference is free. You can view news items on the web

Scope of Conference
The central focus of the Internet Conference is on the analysis of material
flows in integrated bio-systems. The scope includes 11
 themes :

 1) Municipal Biodegradable Solid Recycling and Conversion Systems
 MFA of systems that includes recycling and conversion of biodegradables,
food scraps, yard trimmings and greens into bio-fuels,  organic fertiliser,
animal feed, biochemicals, etc. using biological sub-systems such as
anaerobic digestion, composting,  vermi-culture, etc.. New methods,
alternative natural systems for control or remediation to avoid the need
for landfills, conventional  wastewater plants, etc.

 2) Wastewater Treatment and Utilisation Systems
 MFA of systems using plants, microbes, algae, shellfish in wastewater
treatment and use of wastewaters in crop irrigation,  aquaculture,
wetlands, forests, etc. crop-aquaculture, livestock-aquaculture systems,
integrated aquaculture/polyculture systems,  etc..

 3) Integrated Aquaculture Systems
 MFA of aquatic food production systems such as integrated
aquaculture/polyculture systems, fish-shellfish-seaweed systems,
 aquaculture-terrestrial integrated bio-systems, silvifisheries, fish
ranching, etc.

 4) Small Scale Farming Systems
 MFA of household bio-systems with sub-systems like livestock, biogas
digesters, fish ponds, compost, vermicompost, vegetable  gardens and crops
plots, fruit trees, aquatic plants, etc.

 5) Large Plantations, Farms and Feedlots
 MFA of corporate and cooperative agricultural systems using of agro-crop
residues and livestock manure for production of feed,  food, fibre,
chemicals, energy, etc.

 6) Constructed Building Complex, greenhouse and Eco-house Systems
 MFA of bio-systems in/on buildings for waste water treatment, food
production, hydroponics, aquaponics; waste recycling or using  animals and
compost to heat greenhouses, etc.

 7) Industry and Eco-Industrial Parks
 MFA of bio-systems for cleaner production, industries and industrial parks
to utilise primary by-product wastes for biochemicals,  food and energy
production in co-operative implmentation of shared systems for
complementary recovery and use.

 8) Resource Utilization and Conservation in Sustainable Natural
Eco-Systems
 MFA of bio-systems for sustainable resource utilisation e.g. in
watersheds, reservoirs, lakes, river basins, community forests,  natural
parks, coral reefs, mangroves, etc..

 9) Small Islands, Community, Villages and Cities
 MFA of IBSs for sustainable living in human communities for urban ecology,
urban agriculture and environmental management;

 10) Global Issues related to Food Security, Environment and Climate Change
 e.g. regional studies (national, regional and global) where integrated
bio-systems are used to play crucial roles to sustain food  security, zero
wastes and zero wastewater discharge; and reduction of greenhouse gases.

 11) Tools and Methodology for Design and Analysis of Integrated
Bio-Systems.
 e.g. softwares and methods for material flow analysis showing how it is
applied to an example(s) in an integrated bio-systems
