| CALL FOR PAPERS |
The AIA'2004 Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture is
intended to attract individuals from academia and industry who are
actively engaged in the presentation of new research results and applications
of Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture and in related domains (in
particular, environmental sciences). As an important part of the workshop,
the program will focus on new research challenges and ideas in the
following areas:
|
| Topics |
| 1. Fundamental representation issues |
| |
• |
Management of spatio/temporal knowledge (spatio/temporal
reasoning, extension of GIS capabilities, reasoning across several
levels of temporal or spatial granularity). |
| |
• |
Management of uncertainty and imprecision (fuzzy
logic, belief functions, Bayesian networks, qualitative reasoning). |
| |
• |
Modeling of Multi-agent systems (population modeling,
distributed problem solving). |
| 2. Tools, techniques, algorithms |
| |
• |
Use of emerging technologies (neural network, genetic
algorithms, fuzzy control, constraint satisfaction, case-based reasoning). |
| |
• |
Fusion of multiple sources of information (in particular
for interpretation systems). |
| |
• |
Rise of AI in simulation tools (discrete event systems,
use of advanced representation capabilities, qualitative/quantitative
simulation). |
| |
• |
Integration/combination of AI approaches with other
approaches. |
| 3. Applications and practical issues |
| |
• |
Successful or novel AI decision support approaches
for planning, scheduling, control, monitoring, prediction or diagnosis
problems in agriculture and related domains. |
| |
• |
Commercialized and routinely used AI-based systems,
in particular expert and knowledge-based systems (in laboratories,
extension services, farms). |
| |
• |
Critical analysis of project failures. |
| |
• |
Validation issues for AI-based decision support
systems. |
| |
• |
Intelligent information systems, and web intelligence.
