Overview
The use of modern ICT solutions (namely IoT, AI, robotics) in agriculture can significantly increase the efficiency of agricultural land use, leading to an increase in the quantity and quality of agricultural yields, while reducing the negative impact of crop production on the environment. The workshop aims to present the latest research and technologies in the field of smart agriculture to improve crop production, focusing on sustainable solutions to address the challenges of climate change while reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together researchers as well as practitioners, engineers and agronomists to discuss open challenges, present practical solutions and results, and exchange ideas and experiences.
Topics
Authors are invited to submit manuscripts presenting original, unpublished research on the use of ICT solutions for sustainable agriculture. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Sensors for smart agriculture and agri-environmental monitoring
- LPWAN technologies and novel protocols for smart agriculture
- Wireless sensor networks and IoT platforms for smart agriculture
- Precision agriculture and data-driven solutions to increase crop yields
- Robotics and AI-based solutions for smart agriculture
- Smart farming for agroecology to reduce negative impacts of agriculture on the environment
The workshop is organized by the research project “IoT-field: An Ecosystem of Networked Devices and Services for IoT Solutions Applied in Agriculture” with support from European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the three participating research institutions from Croatia: FER Zagreb, FERIT Osijek and Agricultural Institute Osijek.
Paper Submission and Publication
Prospective authors are invited to submit novel, previously unpublished full papers (up to 8 pages), addressing the topics of interest, for consideration for the workshop. All submitted papers will go through the regular peer-review process. Submission of a paper implies that, if the paper is accepted, at least one of the authors must register and attend the conference to present the work according to the general rules of the conference. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore.
Guidelines for formatting, style, and submission of papers can be found on the ConTEL 2021 main page.
