Invitation
The first international conference of AGRICONTROL was held in
Wageningen in 2000. Its aim was to foster various modeling and
control aspects of agriculture and biological production around the
world. The second conference was held in Osijek in 2007. It
expanded the domain of agricultural control and automation
research and unifying production aspects toward information
guided science and engineering

The purpose of the third conference “AGRICONTROL 2010” is to
provide a forum for new approaches and emerging results in the
studies of agricultural production from all over the world. The
intent of the organizers is that attendees will exchange information
about not only control in bio-systems, environmental control,
automatic control, robotics and mechatronics in agricultural
production, but also instrumentation and sensing, information
technologies for precision agriculture, inspection for safety and
security of food and agricultural products food processing, and
ergonomics in agricultural operations. They will also be able to
share ideas, theories, techniques, challenges, and concerns with
peers and expand their professional networks worldwide.

To obtain fruitful results for all attendees, organizers desire that
presentations and papers include significant and original methods
or/and results in ongoing researches and new technologies. All
organizers also would like all attendees to enjoy beautiful Kyoto
where people can live ancient Japanese culture sightseeing 17
world cultural heritage site like the Golden Temple, the Silver
Temple, Kamigamo Shrine, and Nijo Castle. We expect attendees
to spend a memorable time in the ancient Japanese capital.
