Project details
The aim of the MoDeM_IVM project is to develop a new, interactive, web-based Decision Support System (DSS) for integrated management of the vineyard. Research is mainly addressed to:

• i) develop and integrate in a single system automatic sensors and hand-held devices for monitoring all the vineyard components;
• ii) develop mathematical models for the key aspects of the vineyard management;
• iii) define the best options for managing the vineyard according to the Integrated Production and bring these options into practical guidelines;
• iv) optimize decision making based on a cost-benefit analysis that also considers environmental impacts;
• v) develop the web-based DSS that: receives real-time input data from the vineyard; uses data for calculating optimized decision supports; shows the decision supports in a clear way.

The project has eight partners:

HORTA SRL. (Italy; coordinator), Centro Ricerche Produzioni Animali - C.R.P.A. SPA. (Italy), Galtel Proyectos y Desarrollos SL. (Spain), Société de Distribution de Materiel Electronique (France) , Universidad de la Rioja (Spain), Universidade de Tras-os-Montes e Alto Duro (Portugal), Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Italy) and CNR-IMATI (Italy).
