Applications of AI/Robotics to Agriculture

Organizers: Yiannis Ampatzidis, Ilias S. Kotsireas, and Panos M. Pardalos

Artificial Intelligence and deep learning are increasingly used in remote sensing and machine vision for precision agriculture applications. This Special Session focuses on the recent advances in artificial intelligence applications in agriculture and natural resources. It aims to discuss emerging technologies in the areas of machine and computer vision, internet of things, big data analytics, automation and robotics, machine learning, deep and transfer learning, reinforcement learning, logistics and optimization.

Boolean and pseudo-Boolean Functions

Organizers: Endre Boros and Yves Crama

Boolean and pseudo-Boolean functions are pervasive today in all areas of mathematics, computer science, operations research, various sciences and engineering. An ever increasing number and areas of applications demand new results from both structural and algorithmic points of views. The special sessions aim at bringing together researchers from all walks of science to discuss the latest results and the most important open problems.
