AIMS AND SCOPE:

The all set of management strategies currently known as precision agriculture (PA) come from gathering temporal, spatial and individual data and combining it with other information to support management decisions according to estimated variability for improved resource use efficiency, productivity, quality, profitability, and sustainability of agricultural production. A key role in the development of such methodologies is played by optimization techniques and algorithms. This special issue focuses on contributions dealing with several topics related to the use of soft-computing techniques for the PA-data analysis and acquisition by means of both proximity and remote sensors.

TOPICS OF INTERESTS:

The methods and tools applied in Precision Agriculture include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Genetic algorithms,
- Fuzzy Logic
- Neural Networks
- Ant colony optimization,
- Artificial bee colony algorithm,
- Particle swarm optimization,
- Differential evolution,
- Memetic algorithms,
- Hybridization of evolutionary and/or swarm optimization techniques,
- Hybridization with exact and/or heuristic methods.

The potential applications include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computer Vision applied to Precision Agriculture,
- Crop/Yiel Prediction using Machine Learning Techniques,
- Leaf/Plant disease detection and classification,
- Sampling techniques and methods,
- Nutrient and crop protection chemicals recommendation and crop quality,
- Geomatics techniques for multi-sensor-data integration,
- Positioning and navigation tools for the control of farm operations,
- Computational techniques,
- Positioning systems and control systems,
- Adoption and economics of precision agriculture management and environmental coverage including sediments, leaching, runoff and drainage related to within-field spatial variability.
