ESS GmbH: Environmental Technology, Research & Development
ESS is committed to bring the best available scientific knowledge
and information technology to bear on environmental planning, management,
policy and decision making problem for a better, sustainable future
(starting now).
Applied Systems Analysis
Environmental Sciences
Information Technology
For its projects, the ESS project team
is using -- and developing -- state-of-the-art information technology,
including simulation and optimization models, GIS, and expert systems,
and provides web-based on-line soluotns (SaaS, software as a service),
turn key customised solutions as web based application services.
ESS develops Information Technology Solutions in a number
of application domains under the general theme of Environmental Systems Analysis;
a range of on-line interactive DEMOS
illustrate several these systems.
We aim at combining environmental sciences, engineering, social sciences and economics,
and state-of-the-art information technology into a new generation of tools for better rational
and scientifically based planning, management, participatory policy and decision making
- for a sustainable future.
