International Conference on Agro BigData and Decision Support Systems in Agriculture

Date: 
27.09.2017
The International Conference on Agro BigData and Decision Support Systems in Agriculture (BigDSSAgro) is devoted to decision support systems in agriculture, which combine models, databases and algorithms to support many real-world decision-making problems. It takes place in Montevideo, Uruguay, 27-29 September, 2017.
 

The access to cheap sensor technology, drones, climate data and forecasts, satellite information about soils, humidity and more is provoking a revolution with the irruption of Big Data and opening the door to the development and application of novel optimization and simulation models in Agriculture and the Agri-food industries.

The main question to solve is how to transform the huge amount of data into useful information to decision-makers. Current applications cover a wide range of different areas, from food production or animal welfare to sustainability or climate change impact; and they are expected to still increase in future. The scope of the conference includes findings on established and new Operations Research, Big Data and Analytics methods ineffective decision-making applications in Agriculture and in the Agri-food industry, including their supply chain, and also problems in Forestry and in Environment studies.
