Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue offers the opportunity for both agricultural experts and data analysts to share meaningful insights and latest advancements regarding their research findings by employing data analysis tools in the form of high-impact publications. The paper contributions of the SI are expected to focus on the main advantages derived from data analytics that significantly contribute to the future of digital agriculture, including improved monitoring and farm management, enhanced traceability and equipment reliability and risk mitigation via forecasting. The current Special Issue will be a unique opportunity to highlight a detailed and comprehensive presentation of the employed data analysis tools, the machine learning techniques and sensor technologies that can be effectively combined to enable effective decision-making for practical and sustainable solutions in agriculture.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All aspects of data analytics tools;
- Artificial Intelligence in agricultural data analysis;
- Deep learning in agricultural data analysis;
- Data analysis for predictive maintenance;
- Decision support systems for crop protection and monitoring;
- Environmental data analysis and knowledge management;
- Machine learning in agricultural data analysis;
- Multisensor data fusion;
- Smart farming and its application in data analysis;
- Remote and proximal sensing.
