Computational Sustainability is a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to apply techniques from computer science, information science, operations research, applied mathematics, and statistics for balancing environmental, economic, and societal needs for sustainable development. The main focus is on developing computational and mathematical models and methods for helping the decision process in biodiversity conservation. Bringing in advanced computational methods as a tool to solve these large-scale ecological problems holds tremendous promise for the enrichment of all involved fields. A first goal of this talk is to present two starting projects in the topic of computational sustainability: a project which aims at modeling and optimizing biodiversity in the metacommunities of lakes networks; and a project which aims at modeling and controlling dispersion risks of invasive species along natural and anthropogenic corridors. A second goal of this talk is to call for a network of researchers interested in ecology and computer science in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the emergence of a new research field dealing with computational methods for modeling and optimizing biodiversity conservation. Interested researchers could be involved in the elaboration of a European cost action, which will aim to formalize the theoretical and scientific framework of the network. The last step could be the elaboration of a FET flagship proposal.
