Dear Researchers/Authors,
You are invited to submit your high-quality research findings to the
Special Session 10: "Sensing and Data Platforms: what is ahead of us" of
the 2023 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Agriculture and
Forestry (MetroAgriFor).
November 6-8, 2023 - Pisa, Italy

The role of sensing, including in-situ, proximity and remote, is
increasingly crucial for agriculture and forestry. Huge investments have
been made in this field - consider for instance satellite constellations
for remote sensing, the thriving UAV sector, and the dawning sector of
terrestrial rovers - and benefits are evident in several application areas.
The other side of the coin is represented by the data platforms used to
collect, store, and process the huge amount of data coming from sensing
platforms. Such data platforms have, among others, the role to provide
interoperable data through open interfaces to several different classes of
users.
The goal of this special session is to investigate the potential and the
challenges of both sensing and data platforms, looking to future
developments, and also considering economic and legal aspects to be
carefully taken into consideration.
Contributions are expected to deal with, but are not limited to, the
following topics:
- Sensing systems, both local and remote, and recent developments
- State of the art of data platforms linked to sensing systems
- GEOSS Data Sharing and Management Principles, FAIR principles, and other
interoperable solutions with the potential to further push the use of
sensing data
- Economic and legal aspects that can fuel or limit the use of such systems
Important dates
- Extended Abstract Submission: June 15, 2023
- Extended Abstract Notification: July 30, 2023
- Final Paper Submission: September 15, 2023
Submission Instruction
Authors should prepare an Extended Abstract (4-5 pages) that clearly
indicates the originality of the contribution and the relevance of the
work. The Extended Abstract should include the title of the paper, names
and affiliations of the authors, an abstract, keywords, an introduction
describing the nature of the problem and the state of the art in the field
of interest, a description of the contribution, the results achieved and
their applicability, conclusions, and references.
When the review process has been completed, authors receive a notification
of either acceptance or rejection of the submission. If the paper has been
accepted, the authors can prepare a final paper that incorporates the
reviewers' suggestions.
The format for the final paper is identical to the format for the extended
abstract except for the number of pages: the full paper has a required
minimum length of five (5) pages and a maximum of six (6) pages.
The purpose of a conference template is to provide a consistent format for
papers appearing in the conference proceedings. IEEE strongly encourages
use of the conference manuscript templates.
IEEE conference templates contain guidance text for composing and
formatting conference papers. Please ensure that all guidance text is
removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference.
Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper
not being published.
