The main objective

The main objective is to establish a new concept of Ambient Mobile Intelligence (AMI) for forest, vinary and agriculure management integrated mobile communication, new methods of navigation (GPS, EGNOS, GALILEO) and integration of spatial information including satellite imaging (SPOT, IKONOS, EROS, PROBA).

The specific objectives

The integration of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (integrated satellite imagery) as part of a forestry and agriculture knowledge system on the base of standards and recommendations of OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) with principles of Semantic Web

The design and implementation of a communication and navigation system in a heterogeneous network (terrestrial Internet, GPRS, WIFI, satellite) in combination with current and future navigation systems (GPS, EGNOS, GALILEO).

The use of new methods for data mining, modelling and analysis for improving forestry and agriculture (in particular precision farming and vinery) management. The new technologies will support the building of the forestry and agriculture knowledge system (forest management, precision farming, vineyard management).
