Mobile Environmental Information Systems

This paper presents foundations for building mobile environmental information systems (MEIS) that require a multidisciplinary approach. MEIS require expertise from environmental biology, geography and mobile technology. MEIS are very promising in bringing added value in the acquisition of environmental information with a multitude of mobile devices. Automatic mobile acquisition makes it easy to...

Meta Information Concepts for Environmental Information Systems

The paper gives an overview of a number of aspects of the meta information discussion for Environmental Information Systems (EIS) over the past 7 years. While meta information has mostly been mentioned in the context of Environmental Data Catalogues (EDCs) and/or Catalogues of Environmental Data Sources (CDSs), our group uses meta information for the integration of environmental data into envir...

Evolution of Environmental Information Systems in Africa

Man’s largely uncontrolled use and exploitation of the natural environment and the ever increasing needs of an – arguably overpopulated world have lead to a situation in which only scientific assessment, planning and management can provide some measure of sustainability of the use of natural resources. Especially in the developing world with its limited access to technology, funds and expertise...

Research in Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems

Information systems relate to diverse applications, but, until recently, the use of this technology in agriculture and environment has been relatively behind the applications in the industrial sector. The publication of IJAEIS started in 2010 in order to promote the new research advances in information systems applied to agriculture and environment. This paper presents an overview of the differ...
