International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Agriculture (SSA'2021)
The goal of the International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Agriculture (SSA) is to provide a forum for scientists, engineers and researchers to discuss and exchange novel ideas, results, experiences and work-in-process on all aspects of Smart and Sustainable Agriculture. SSA 2021 attendees will appreciate and benefit from multidisciplinary exchanges on these hot topics.
By means of this conference, we expect people from various communities to meet and exchange during the meetings and specific slots of time will be dedicated to open discussions.
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal, to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssa2021.
The accepted papers will be published as a post-proceedings in Springer's CCIS. Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS) series is indexed by the ISI Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science (CPCI-S), included in ISI Web of Science, EI Engineering Index (Compendex and Inspec databases), ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar, Scopus, etc.
Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in a Special Issue of the MDPI Agriculture journal and Wiley Internet Technology Letters.
