Results from our research activities and descriptions of the practical use of our software tools are published, in order to reach a wider public. Please see below for selected examples of books and research reports. Books These titles in German can by obtained through your book dealer: A. Möller Grundlagen stoffstrombasierter Betrieblicher Umweltinformationssysteme This book, whose title translates as "Basics of material flow based corporate environmental information systems" explains the method of material flow networks. It shows how the method can be used for the implementation of environmental information systems (EIS) in companies and describes the results that can be obtained, such as input/output balances, life-cycle inventories, cost accounting data or impact assessment results. Additionally the topics data acquisition and data integration are described. Both, the theory as well as examples from practice are presented in this book.
