Third International Conference on Environmental and Computer Science, Kunming, China
30 August 2010 - 30 August 2010
China
The Third International Conference on Environmental and Computer Science will be held from 18 to 19 October 2010 in Kunming, China.
As computers have become widespread in the last two decades, significant changes have begun to occur in the environment as a result of technological development, social changes, and the massive production and consumption of computing equipment.
The lifetime of a computer - production, use, and disposal - makes it closely tied to the environment. Its production involves trace metals and other substances that pose health hazards in the handling toxic materials during the production process. Then at the end of a useful lifetime, computers create disposal challenges posed by hazardous materials present and difficulties in recycling.
This event will look at technological advances and research results in the fields of the environment and computer engineering. Expected attendees include researchers, engineers and scientists.For further information, please visit:
