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 
* Geovisualization 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 

All papers accepted to the Workshops will be included in a Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) volume. 


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Each paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of the authors).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 findLatex2e and MSWord templates in the LNCS website. 
To submit a paper, authors must : 
1. Authenticate/Register into the Electronic Submission System 
2. Submit an abstract 
3. Submit the paper in LNCS format 
After receiving the notification of acceptance, the authors of accepted papers will be ask to complete the final Submission of their paper. The authors have to upload in the Electronic Submission System the Camera Ready version of the accepted paper, the related source files and the signed Copyright Transfer form.
