MODEM_IVM: A web-based system for real-time Monitoring and Decision Making for Integrated Vineyard Management
The MODEM_IVM project developed a complete Decision Support System (DSS) in terms of methodology, software and devices. Specifically, the DSS integrates the following components:
(1) a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) for real-time monitoring of the vineyard environmental conditions
(2) hand-held devices for monitoring grapevine plants, pests, and diseases
(3) a web-based tool which hosts the technological infrastructure of the DSS and:
• analyses the data collected by the WSN and the hand-held devices using advanced modelling techniques
• optimises decision making
• suggests the best options for managing the vineyard
• alerts on abiotic stresses
• provides an estimate of pending yield
In this DSS, the provider closely interacts with the decision makers for designing the best monitoring system for each situation. Then, the DSS provider implements the WSN for monitoring the vineyard environment, provides the grapevine manager with the necessary hand-held devices for scouting the vineyard(s) during the season, and trains her/him in using both devices and the web-based DSS. The grapevine manager uses the DSS for inserting site-specific data for each vineyard. The DSS analyses data and produces the decision supports; when necessary, the DSS asks the grapevine manager to scout the vineyard through the hand-held devices, and to send information. The decision supports help the grapevine manager make decisions about management options. The system includes a continuous updating of the DSS and its adaptation to the client needs. This process involves a feedback from grapevine managers and the involvement of researchers who have been involved during the project as well as other researchers with specific expertise.
