BigDSSAgro 2017 - 1st International Conference on Agro Big Data and Deci sion Support Systems in Agriculture
September 27-29 2017, Montevideo, Uruguay

Call for Papers
The BigDSSAgro conference is devoted t o decision support systems in agriculture, which combine models, databases and algorithms to support many real-world decision-making problems.
The access to cheap sensor technology, drones, climate data and fore casts, satellite information about soils, humidity and more is provoking a revolution with the irruption of Big Data and opening the door to the devel opment and application of novel optimization and simulation models in Agric ulture and the Agri-food industries. The main question to solve is how to t ransform the huge amount of data into useful information to decision-makers . Current applications cover a wide range of different areas, from food pro duction or animal welfare to sustainability or climate change impact; and t hey are expected to still increase in future. The scope of the conference i ncludes findings on established and new Operational Research, Big Data and Analytics methods in effective decision-making applications in Agriculture and in the Agri-food industry, including their supply chain, and also prob lems in Forestry and in Environment studies.
Topics of intere st to the conference include, but are not limited to:
Methods
• Operational Research methods relevant to agriculture, forestry and environment
• Sustainability indicators in agriculture and environme nt
• Modelling sensor based data to get useful information
• Bi g Data techniques with potential applications in agriculture
• Optimi zation and simulation models, including agent based simulation
• Deci sion support tools based on Big Data and Operational Research techniques
• Decision support tools based on GIS and their implications with Big D ata
• Economic aspects of adoption of Big Data analytics
< p>Applications of the above mentioned methods in the following settings:
• Smart farms, sensing applications in agriculture
• Precision ag riculture, digital agriculture
• Industrial agriculture
• Small scale farming
• Agri-business supply chain
• Forestry
• Land Use
• Environment studies and environmental protection
