IPCK-FF 2015 - 1st DEXA Workshop on Integrated Processing, Control and Knowledge Systems for Sustainable Production in Farms and Forests

One of the specific targets of IPCK-FF 2015 workshop is to widen the interdisciplinary coverage of the computer science and agricultural research community. Its focus is 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 workshop is centred on a complete process sequence of a smart seeding, spraying and harvesting for grass/grains/trees including 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 device and end-userâ?™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. The system is addressing needs 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.
