PRESENTATION
------------------------------
Monitor and
manage sanitary risks, study climate change, environmental impacts of
agricultural practices (the use of pesticides for example), the ecological
status of rivers, simulate spread of forest fires, etc. are environmental and
agricultural challenges for which information and decision support systems
represent effective solutions. New theoretical and technical challenges emerge
from the integration of several scientific domains such as agronomy,
mathematics, information technology and computer science. The objective of the
special issue is to show how the latest advances in research in information and
decision-support systems can be applied to environmental and/or agricultural
systems.
Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:
* Database,
Data Warehouses
*
Geographic Information Systems
*
Cloud/Grid Computing
*
Distributed information systems
*
Interoperability between information systems
* Data
Integration
* Knowledge
