| + !KEY ISSUES |
| + Defining an interesting project from the ecology side that would also have an interesting enough computer science component. Suggestions included: |
| + *Comparing and contrasting and knowledge representation of key ecological/biological issues--i.e., having students create nonformal ontologies on underlying concepts and comparing these ontologies to look at the relationship between diversity and productivity. |
| + *Have students work on creating real application workflows -- Creating conceptual models in kepler based on data and comparing those models –- |
| + *replicating the KNB working group study on biodiversity/productivity different measure of diversity |
| + *Sampling properties of different types of species-area curves and how they reflect underlying ecological processes. |
| + *Comparing and contrasting the two common experimental approaches used in understanding of biodiversity and productivity -- manipulations of productivity and the alternation of the number of species or functional groups. |
| + Identifying individuals from both the computer science and biology/ecology side to assist in teaching the course -- |
| + *Bertram/Shawn |
