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.
