User and entity interaction within multi-level decision support system in living lab projects
Abstract: ‘Puglia Tremor’ and ‘Vengo Anch’io’ projects built two systems for monitoring geo-referenced events. Reports of events are principally sent by human users that became active citizens in real community. ‘Puglia Tremor’ and ‘Vengo Anch’io’ use new dynamics of co-partnership, introduced by new technologies and telecommunication tools. The main idea behind the proposal is that […]
Hydro-Tech: an automated smart-tech Decision Support Tool for eco-efficient irrigation management
Abstract: Hydro-Tech is a new automatized decision support system which integrates the results of scientific achievements and technological innovations in the fields of crop water requirements and irrigation scheduling, on-field data acquisition, transmission and management, and application of web and app tools for real-time irrigation management. The system combines agronomic, engineering, environmental and economic aspects of water […]
Hydro-Tech – an integrated decision support system for sustainable irrigation management: (II) software and hardware architecture
Abstract: In southern EU Member States, ‘sustainable’ water management in agriculture is a major issue and there is an increasing need to develop and test appropriate ‘decision support systems’ (DSS) to further support the on-farm decision process. The application of new technologies to the control and automation of irrigation is becoming a very relevant issue […]
