New education and decision
support model for active behaviour
in sustainable development based
on innovative web services
and qualitative reasoning
Invitation for ESA ESRIN AMI4FOR and NaturNet – Redime final workshop
On 27th of September will be organized in premises of ESA ESRIN in Frascati final workshop of two projects
- ESA PECS projects AMI4FOR - Ambient Mobile Intelligence for forest, vinery and agriculture management integrating mobile communication, new methods of navigation as well as of spatial information including satellite imaging
- 6th Framework Program Project NATURNET-REDIME - New Education and Decision Support Model for Active Behaviour in Sustainable Development Based on Innovative Web Services and Qualitative Reasoning (SPECIFIC TARGETED RESEARCH PROJECT 004074 SUSTDEV-2004-3.VIII.2.e)
Workshop objective
The focus of presentation will be not only on the results of projects, but also on the synergy of this projects with other European and world wide initiative, policies and programmers like European Network of Living Labs, Sustainable Development Policy, Rural Development Policy, INSPIRE directive and United Nation Spatial Data Infrastructure.
Important part of presentation will be also focus on standardization, with main focus on utilization of Open Geospatial Consortium standards and on standardization of information in Agriculture and Forestry.
Registration
Please send your registration detail name and organisation on the email address of Luana Bisaccia (Luana.Bisaccia@esa.int). You will obtain confirmation of registration and necessary logistic information. Workshop is free of charge; every participant participates on its own expenses.

Information about presented projects
AMI4FOR
The main objective was to establish a new concept of Ambient Mobile Intelligence (AMI) for forest, vinery and agriculture management integrated mobile communication, new methods of navigation (GPS, EGNOS, GALILEO) and integration of spatial information including satellite imaging.
- The specific objectives were:
- the integration of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (integrated satellite imagery) as part of a forestry and agriculture knowledge system on the base of standards and recommendations of OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) with principles of Semantic Web
- the design and implementation of a communication and navigation system in a heterogeneous network (terrestrial Internet, GPRS, WIFI, satellite) in combination with current and future navigation systems
- The use of new methods for data mining, modelling and analysis for improving forestry and agriculture (in particular precision farming and vinery) management. The new technologies will support the building of the forestry and agriculture knowledge system (forest management, precision farming, vineyard management).
- The project was mainly focused on three target spheres:
- Viniculture
- Forestry
- Agriculture
NaturNet Redime
The general objective of NATURNET-REDIME project (NNR) was the improvement of knowledge and the provision of education concerning all aspects of Sustainable Development. The project thus developed and demonstrated prototype technology and educational programmes towards implementing the European Union's Strategy for Sustainable Development (SSD). Extensive stakeholder understanding of the various factors and tools that affect sustainable development was one of the main goals of the NNR project. The content focused on and integrated ecological, economic, social and technological factors and prepared training facilities for Strategic Impact Assessment (SIA).
The output of the project was divided into two main parts, which come from two original independent project's proposals (NaturNet and REDIME)
- The NATURNET component of the project focused on building an interoperable Internet architecture, through which users can access and visualise much of the data on sustainable development that currently exists in a scattered, non-integrated form throughout the world. Mobile Internet technologies will allow users to access location-specific information, wherever they are.
- The REDIME component of the project focused on learning through modelling and simulation. We will use this approach to develop tools for the public to learn about sustainable development. This was made possible by enhancing Qualitative Reasoning (QR) modelling tools to make them easy and interesting for everybody to use. A team of sustainability experts was organised and explicate cause-effect processes into the new QR workbench, allowing this knowledge to be transferred and re-used. Thus, users are able to assemble these pieces of knowledge like building blocks to create and run simulations themselves. In contrast to passive learning by traditional lecture or reading formats, a deeper understanding of cause and effect will thus be facilitated.
- Both the main components of the project closely interact on the NaturNet-Redime web portal demonstrating the existing best practice of the application of the principles of sustainability and offering modelling tools that will be able to demonstrate the influence of human activities on the environment.
- Because the NaturNet-Redime web portal is based on interoperable services, it is possible to utilise modules from other projects and local data sources.
