Call for Papers

The workshop targets to bring together experts from the computer science and agricultural research community and thus create an interdisciplinary coverage and allow for further networking between the communities. The focus of the workshop covers data management and the use of IT systems in agricultural and forestry research, as well as research related to agricultural and forestry systems used in practice.

The scope of the workshop covers, but is not limited to, on integrated solutions based on a cross platform architecture entitling standards and related technologies for communication between automation systems and IT systems in farms and forest related process; The complete process sequences of smart cultivation in greenhouses, fields and forests; IoT cloud-enabled Agribusiness Intelligent Information Management System platform and Subsystems with corresponding middleware, and security and privacy architecture for process automation, data management, monitoring and control; novel sustainable intelligent Knowledge Management subsystems for integrating currently scattered data and resources for optimal conformity, interpretation and adaptation to agriculture; input-output gateway modules, including wireless standards for medium/long range; Human Machine Interface (HMI) demonstrator devices and end-user's application services; fusion algorithms and network propagation models for heterogeneous sensor networks and wireless sensor networks, signal/data analysis and visualization bringing together technologies, experience and research results from industrial automation, "Internet of Things" and agribusiness sectors; systems addressing the need for seamless data transfer between complex field devices/automation systems and IT systems for several stakeholders in agribusiness and forestry production.

We particularly welcome contributions from knowledge science, computer science provided that they contribute to the advancement of science on farming systems analysis, assessment, design or implementation.
