ScopeSoftware systems developed for environmental modeling, protection and research tasks have grown steadily in sophistication, complexity and usefulness in the recent past. Environmental information systems (EIS) are a major focus of environmental research, decision support and policy formulation. The subject of EIS is multi-disciplinary, and must adapt quickly to new computing resources and environments. Our peers in EIS research and development face major challenges in maintaining our individual and collective knowledge-base as the need for EIS continues. ISESS, the International Symposium on Environmental Software Systems, was initiated in 1995 as a forum in which to present and discuss the fundamentals, progress and actual trends in this area in terms of methods, tools and state-of-the-art applications. Over the years, it has also evolved into an important networking tool for academics, environmental professionals, and other interested parties. ISESS 2007 is part of a series organized by IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing) Working Group 5.11 "Computers and Environment". The purpose of the symposium is to present and discuss the progress and trends in Enviromatics, which is operationally defined as the application of information technology to environmental science, engineering, and management. FP7 Information DayBefore the start of the conference on May 21, 2007, there is a FP7 Information Day on ICT for Environmental Management and Energy Efficiency organised by the Information Society and Media Directorate-General (DG INFSO) of the European Commission with the kind support of the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic and the Technology Centre of the Academy of Sciences CG.
