An expert assessment consists of an ordered series of decisions that have to respond to time-evolving information contexts. Improving decisions made in a risk context requires...

In agriculture, web-based social media are increasingly used to share knowledge concerning best practices. One goal of agroecology is to reduce the use of synthetic chemical...

With the maturity of crowdsourcing systems, new analysis possibilities appear where volunteers play a crucial role by bringing the implicit knowledge issued from practical and...

Animal traceability is a very important question for several government and private institutions from many points of view: economical, sanitary, etc. Traditional systems are able...

Recent research works propose using Object-Oriented (OO) approaches, such as UML to model data warehouses. This paper overviews these recent OO techniques, describing the facts...

In this paper the authors present a semi-automatic method for designing and generating spatial data cubes in order to visualize and analyze the results of simulation models. In...

In the context of crop model design for industrial purposes, this paper proposes a domain-specific modeling approach to provide a crop model factory for the modelers in agronomy....

This paper proposes an operational approach to (1) formalize, in Description Logics (DL), the topological relations between simple regions and (2) automatically check whether a...

This chapter shows how Model Driven Engineering (MDE) can contribute to the production of Crop models. The ITK firm works in agronomy; it designs digital models and Decision...

The International Journal of Systems Biology and Biomedical Technologies (IJSBBT) explores the scientific foundations involved in Systems Biology and advanced engineering models...

The worldwide increase in population has led to numerous innovative approaches to the difficulties posed by food production and agriculture in general. New Technologies for...

Introducing spatial data into multidimensional models leads to the concept of Spatial OLAP (SOLAP). Existing SOLAP models do not completely integrate the semantic component of...

This paper examines the multidimensional modeling of a data warehouse for simulation results. Environmental dynamics modeling is used to study complex scenarios like...

This paper is composed of two parts dealing with the modeling of environmental phenomena. The first part presents the traditional ER and OO formalisms dedicated to geographic...
