  • Data: Relational & Distributed Databases: Design, Programming, Management, Maintenance and Use; Data banks; etc. 
  • Other: Methodologies; Algorithms; Mathematical Methods; Harvest Scheduling and Optimization; Multi-Criteria Decision Modeling; Remote Sensing and GIS; Land Use Changes; Supply Analysis; Econometrics; Expert Systems; Decision Analysis; Decision Trees and Management Diagrams; etc.

The level of presentation is often diverse, but we welcome talks designed to be accessible to all, without sacrificing content. Graduate students are especially encouraged to think of our conference as a friendly place to get feedback on their proposed research work or work in progress.

Conference participants may submit more than one abstract for consideration in the conference; however, each speaker will be limited to one presentation.
