special issue in
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems (IJAEIS)
*****DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 15TH SEPTEMBER****
Special issue topics
Monitor and manage sanitary risks, study climate change, environmental impacts in connexion with agricultural practices (the use of pesticides, for example), mapping the good ecological status of rivers, simulate spread of forest fires … are environmental and agricultural challenges for which Information and Decision Support Systems represent effective solutions. New theoretical and technical challenges emerge from the integration of several scientific domains such as agronomy, mathematics, information technology and computer science. The objective of the proposed workshop is to show how the latest advances in research in information and decision-support systems can be applied to environmental and agricultural matters.
Information and Decision Support Systems topics (include but are not limited to):
Database, Data Warehouses
Geographic Information Systems
Cloud/Grid Computing
Distributed information systems
Interoperability between information systems
Data Integration
Geovisualization Knowledge management
Spatial Big Data
Geosensor network
Software Engineering
Data Mining …
Application domains (include but are not limited to):
Agricultural production
Agricultural traceability and food safety
Eco-technologies
Environmental issues in rural and urban areas
Forest fires
Global climate change
Impact assessments of agricultural and industrial activities
Soil, air and water quality models
