1 Research on Information Technology in Agribusiness and the Environment LAA - USP Antonio Mauro Saraiva- professor Universidade de São Paulo - Escola Politécnica
2 LAA research group R&D in IT applied to agribusiness and environment Created in 1989 People Faculty 5 Students Staff - 3 Projects Partners & Funding in Brazil & abroad Partners in application areas: transdisciplinary projects 2
3 Environment - BioComp BioComp Research Center on Biodiversity and Computing Transdisciplinary group: School of Engineering Math and Statistics Institute Biosciences Institute Faculty of Sciences at Ribeirao Preto School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities Many partners outside USP and Brazil Team: 40+ researchers (faculty) Linked to the Research Provost of USP 3
4 BioComp Subprojects - themes Sensor networks applied to agrobiodiversity Biological and computational study and characterization of biological shape, behavior and communication Modeling, analysis and decision support in biodiversity Species identification and biological interactions: molecular and morphological approaches Diversification, biogeography, and conservation of the neotropical biota: an integrative approach 4
5 Rationale Brazil's wealth derives largely from its agribusiness and environment
6 Rationale Agribusiness Globally and locally important: Food & fiber Renewable energy Major component of Brazil's GDP Competitive Impacts society, economy, environment
7 Rationale Environment Globally and locally important Global climate change & Amazon forest (e.g.) Ecosystem services provided by the environment Heritage Major source of future goods Impacts society, economy (& agribusiness)
8 Challenges & opportunities Agribusiness and Environment Complex processes Multivariable Multiscale Non-linear Distributed High demand for ICT
9 Challenges & opportunities Decision support systems Systems and processes modeling Interoperability of distributed systems Instrumentation and control Ubiquitous systems Networks embedded in machinery Wireless sensor networks RFId PDAs 9
