Abstracts of Volume.2
Information and Communication Technology（ICT）has become a key component in agricultural engineering activities and application fields, like land and water, mechanization, environment control, structures and processing. Informatics applications are pervasive in many areas of control, automation and management of agricultural processes and systems. The agricultural sector has been rapidly transformed into industry of major importance that must rely heavily on computer-integrated management and advanced control systems. The roadmap for agricultural modernization of developed countries is distinctly different than of developing countries. In the developed world in North American and Europe, adoption of information technology in agriculture lags mechanization by at least half a century, whereas in many developing countries, such as China, ICT is well adopted before mechanization is half-accomplished. ICT helps developing countries in realizing agricultural mechanization effectively and efficiently.
The Knowledge Integration Systems (KIS) is to unify the approaches of embedding knowledge into knowledge intensive systems. Such a demand has emerged in all domains of business and engineering.
Session III of the CIGR 2004 Conference will be in conjunction with the 1st Technical Symposium of CIGR Session VII to contribute to the progress in the development and applications of ICT and KIS in food and agriculture productions, natural resources management, and rural development. Its goal is to provide a forum for interaction, discussion, and information exchange among scientists and engineers.
2003 full papers were accepted by the session III. The academic committee of 2004 CIGR will officially publish proceedings on a CD ROM with all accepted full papers, and a printed Collection of all Extended Abstracts.
