Workshop description

Monitor and manage sanitary risks, study climate change, environmental impacts in connexion with agricultural practices (the use of pesticides, for example), mapping the good ecological status of rivers, simulate spread of forest fires ... are environmental and agricultural challenges for which Information and Decision Support Systems represent effective solutions. New theoretical and technical challenges emerge from the integration of several scientific domains such as agronomy, mathematics, information technology and computer science. The objective of the proposed workshop is to show how the latest advances in research in information and decision-support systems can be applied to environmental and agricultural matters.
Information and Decision Support Systems topics (include but are not limited to):

* Database, Data Warehouses

* Geographic Information Systems
* Cloud/Grid Computing
* Distributed information systems
* Interoperability between information systems
* Data Integration
* Geovisulization Knowledge management
* Spatial Big Data
* Geosensor network
* Software Engineering
* Data Mining ...

Application domains (include but are not limited to):

* Agricultural production
* Agricultural traceability and food safety
* Eco-technologies
* Environmental issues in rural and urban areas
* Forest fires
* Global climate change
* Impact assessments of agricultural and industrial activities
* Soil, air and water quality models
* Precision farming
* Risk assessments
* Modeling and simulation for environment and agriculture
* Water management …

Proceedings and Journal special issue

Accepted papers of the Workshops will be included in a Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the Ecological Informatics journal (impact factor: 1.432).
Evaluation Policy

Each paper will be independently reviewed by at least 3 program committee members. Their individual scores will be evaluated by a small sub-committee and result in one of the following final decisions: accepted, or accepted on the condition that suggestions for improvement will be incorporated, or rejected. Notification of this decision will be sent to authors.
Submission Guidelines

Each paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors).

The authors should submit complete papers (max 12 pages). Paper must be formatted according to LNCS rules. Please find Latex2e and MSWord templates in the LNCS website.
