Scope: Three Levels of Computation
Agriculture is increasingly shaped by computational models, system architectures, and knowledge representations operating across multiple levels.
Activity
Activity Level
Computations and architectures for individual farming tasks, including IoT sensing, drone navigation, computer vision for crop monitoring, and secure on-farm data sharing.
Process
Process Level
Computational frameworks and architectures that enhance cultivation, optimize supply chains, integrate agriculture ontologies, and enable secure and trusted information exchange.
Ecosystem
Ecosystem Level
Large-scale simulations, architectures for food security and climate adaptation, federated data ecosystems, and knowledge bases supporting collaboration, governance, and resilience.
