Here are some resources for your research.

Institute for Computational Sustainability, a $20M NSF “Expeditions” Center
AAAI 2011 conference track on CS
- see final program PDF and look for Computational Sustainability Track
- blog writeup about CS track at AAAI

To turn in your work:

Acceptable file formats are .txt, .pdf, .odt, and .doc/.docx.
Use your CS login as your filename root. E.g., my CS login is fredm and I want to submit a plain-text file, so I will submit a file named fredm.txt.
Make sure your real name is in the file that you're turning in (e.g., at the top).
Transfer your file to Mercury, log in, and turn in your work using submit:
