About
The CCWI has been focused on modelling and control of water systems. The CCWI conferences were initially organized by Brunel University (London), De Monfort University (Leicester), Exeter University, Imperial College London and The University of Sheffield. It has been held every two years since 1991; last held at DMU in 2015. This international conference brings together industry professionals and researchers from around the world to solve problems in the field of urban water systems, modelling, and control.
Conference Goals
- • Provide opportunities for practitioners and researchers to discuss and disseminate hot topics and novel ideas on computing and control of urban water systems
- • Examine and share achievements in computing and control of urban water systems in the context of big data and internet of everything
- • Establish a platform for practitioners and researchers to encourage collaborations on worthwhile projects in the field of water
- • Encourage discussion between researchers and practitioners about the future challenges of the water industry: the evolution of digital and smart water systems and strategies to cope with the effects of climate change
