IWA New Developments
in IT & Water Conference
Call for Papers and Workshops
1 – 3 November, 2016 Telford, united kingdom
TheInternationalWaterAssociationandtheorganisersofWWEM,theInternationalWater,Wastewater&EnvironmentalMonitoring
Conference, have the pleasure to announce a Call for Papers, Posters and Workshops for the 3rd
IWA New Developments in
IT & Water Conference which will be held in conjunction with the Water, Wastewater & Environmental Monitoring Conference
in the UK this November.
The use of instrumentation, data, modelling and process control has become an essential part of the modern water industry as
we face greater demands from environmental to financial. Addressing challenges ranging from population growth to climate
change to improved environmental quality has meant that the water industry has had to provide an enhanced service for less.
The development of a more efficient service has been, at least in part, addressed by improved technology in IT & Water. It has,
though, brought challenges in areas such as cyber security and opportunities in areas such as the Internet of Things, Cloud
Computing & Sofware as a Service.
Session Themes
In this 3rd
edition of the New Developments in IT & Water the organising committee is particularly interested in receiving papers
within the following session themes
Modelling & Control (Potable Water Systems) Modelling & Control (Wastewater Systems)
Big Data & Small Information Data Handling & Information Visualisation
Software as a Service & Cloud Computing Internet of Things
Cyber Security Innovations in IT & Water
Hydroinformatics Decision Support Systems
Communications Protocols Network Control Systems
The organising committee are also open to proposals for both workshops and poster sessions. Selected papers will be peer
reviewed and will potentially be published in Water Science & Technology.
