Dear Colleagues,

The annual Phenome 2019 conference will be held in Tucson, AZ, 6–10 February, 2019 (http://phenome2019.org). This is the third year for Phenome and the conference is becoming the preeminent North American meeting focused on the methodologies and technologies that enable the study of phenotyping, and the resulting insights into complex biological systems.

The Phenome 2019 conference features the following technical sessions: i) Systems and Sensor Development to Advance Phenomics, detailing systems and sensors being developed for the efficient, high-throughput measurement of traits, and ii) Data Crunching and New Analytics, including advanced techniques for extracting, interpreting, and maintaining meaningful data.

Authors of selected research contributions from the conference will be invited to submit their original papers and contributions under the following conference topics, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Robotics and automated systems
• Novel proximal and remote sensing technologies
• Big data and computational phenomics
• Automated phenotyping at different scales
• Computer vision and machine learning

Dr. Peschel Joshua M.
