Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce the opening of a new Special Issue in the journal Applied Science entitled “Visualisation of Big Data in Agriculture”. The Issue will focus on leveraging various contemporary existing as well as emerging data sources in both crop and livestock production. Innovative data processing and analysis methods are of particular interest, in addition to the final presentation and visualisation of the synthesised information.
As contemporary data science usually handles various types of data from which the final information is acquired, there is particular interest in manuscripts processing, analysing, and visualising the outputs of several kinds of data sources together, with a definite impact on agriculture.
This Issue expects manuscripts that describe the utilisation of Earth Observation data (both multi and hyperspectral), climatic data, in-situ sensor data (connected to IoT), crowdsourced data, linked data, etc. together with traditional geographic data, stressing the multidimensionality of the data (e.g., the third and temporal dimensions of the data).
Next, each manuscript should describe an application of the data analysis/visualisation in agricultural processes and evaluate its impact, for example, on the optimisation of production or mitigation of environmental impact.
As the Issue looks for innovative methods of applying big data in agriculture, fundamental aspects of big data must be addressed (volume, variety, veracity) in the manuscripts.
I hope you find the Issue topic interesting, and I look forward to your research contributions.

Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
