Information Processing in Agriculture
Information Processing in Agriculture (IPA) was established in 2013 and it encourages the development towards a science and technology of information processing in agriculture, through the following aims: • Promote the use of knowledge and methods from the information processing technologies in the agriculture; • Illustrate the experiences and publications of the institutes, universities and government, and also the profitable technologies on agriculture; • Provide opportunities and platform for exchanging knowledge, strategies and experiences among the researchers in information processing worldwide; • Promote and encourage interactions among agriculture Scientists, Meteorologists, Biologists (Pathologists/Entomologists) with IT Professionals and other stakeholders to develop and implement methods, techniques, tools, and issues related to information processing technology in agriculture; • Create and promote expert groups for development of agro-meteorological databases, crop and livestock modelling and applications for development of crop performance based decision support system. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Smart Sensor and Wireless Sensor Network • Remote Sensing • Simulation, Optimization, Modeling and Automatic Control • Decision Support Systems, Intelligent Systems and Artificial Intelligence • Computer Vision and Image Processing • Inspection and Traceability for Food Quality • Precision Agriculture and Intelligent Instrument • The Internet of Things and Cloud Computing • Big Data and Data Mining
