ICT FOR AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT 151 What are the priorities for future research? Karel Charvat Czech Centre for Science and Society E-mail: charvat@ccss.cz Introduction What will be the RTD priority for next period? What needs to be done in the application domain? What are the future technological solutions? This chapter is formed by introduction analysis defining future research priorities, which are based on the Cologne Declaration, but also on former recommendations coming from other projects including ami@netfood, Rural Inclusion, COIN IP, Future Farm, NaturNet Plus. This chapter also includes the following list of topics representing examples of research results: • Transparent agrifood interoperability, • A business intelligence approach, • Exploring the dynamics of using ICT for farming purposes, • Data quality concepts and methods, • The central role of use cases in enhancing data exchange and interoperability in agriculture, • Multi-sensor data acquisition, storage, handling and analysis, • Monitoring in centrifugal irrigation pumps , • VlitNod technology • Wireless sensor networks geovisualisation, • Server-side solution for sensor data, • Self adaptive algorithms for analysing sensors data • Optimally distributing a fleet of robot, • Using linear programming for tactical planning in agriculture. In accordance with the Cologne Declaration, we divide the research priorities in two groups: • Application Research domain for Agriculture, Food, Rural development and Environment, • ICT technologies for Agriculture, Food, Rural development and Environment.
