integrated rice-fish farming requires very little input and provides off season employment tofarm labors. it has been observed that combination of rice and fish farming is mutuallybeneficial. although, in implementation, it can be faced with several challenges and it demandssome requirements. so, this study was conducted to identify challenges and requirements ofintegrated rice-fish farming in ...

artificial intelligence can deliver? What pushes the human race forward? Our civilization has advanced largely by scientific discoveries and the application of such knowledge. Therefore, I propose the launch of a grand challenge to develop AI systems that can make significant scientific discoveries. As a field with great potential social impacts, and one that suffers particularly from informati...

Technological advances in computing, communications, and control, have set the stage for a next generation of engineered systems, called cyber-physical systems (CPS). These systems can potentially be important in overcoming many challenges in energy, environment, transportation, and health care. In this paper, we discuss some of these grand challenges that necessitate further advances in CPS. W...

Writing programs to play the classical Asian game of Go is considered one of the grand challenges of artificial intelligence. One of the key tactical issues in Go is whether a group of pieces can divide the area it surrounds (“eyespace”) into two separate regions, thus rendering the group immune to capture. Human players quickly learn to recognize various eyespace patterns, invariant under tran...

This paper presents some of the research activities of the research group in vision as a grand challenge problem whose solution is estimated to need the power of Tflop/s computers and for which computational methods have yet to be developed. The concerned approaches are biologically motivated, in that we try to mimic and use mechanisms employed by natural vision systems, more specifically the v...

A worldwide challenge in health systems is how to deal with big data. The trend towards personalized medicine has resulted in an explosion in the amount of complex data. The BIRS Workshop 15w2181 was dedicated to stimulate the cross-domain integration and appraisal of different fields towards tackling the grand challenge of discovering knowledge in complex data sets. The workshop brought togeth...

A grand challenge for power grid management lies in how to plan and operate with increasing penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar photovoltaics and electric vehicles, which disturb the power grid stability. Existing approaches are unable to verify if a point is on a loadability boundary or characterize all loadability boundary points exactly. This inability leads to ...

Innerhalb der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI) hat sich eine Gruppe auf die Suche gemacht nach den „Grand Challenges“ der Informatik. Eine "Grand Challenge" so der Versuch einer Definition stellt ein grundsätzliches Problem in der Informatik oder für die Informatik dar, dessen Lösung mit InformatikHilfsmitteln einen deutlich spürbaren Fortschritt in ökonomischer, sozialer oder gesellschaft...

One of the grand challenges in the Computational Aerosciences Project (CAS) of the High Performance Computing and Communications Program (HPCCP) involves performing multidisciplinary simulations in which two or more phenomena , such as uid dynamics and structural dynamics , are strongly coupled. This challenge has, in turn, given visualization researchers the challenge of developing tools to in...

Information is ubiquitous, and we are flooded with more than we can process. Somehow, we must rely less on visual processing, point-and-click navigation, and manual decision making and more on computer sifting and organization of information and automated negotiation and decision making. A resolution of these problems requires software with semantic understanding—a grand challenge of our time. ...
