This specially curated collection features five reviews of current
and key research on improving water management in crop cultivation.
The first chapter focuses on site-specific variable rate irrigation
systems utilised across agriculture and examines site-specific data
acquisition and mining approaches, such as soil mapping and zone
delineation. The second chapter considers the main deficit
irrigation strategies used in agriculture to improve crop water
productivity. It also explores the status of site-specific
irrigation management and its role in minimizing agricultural water
use. The third chapter reviews progress in winter wheat water
management and water-use efficiency (WUE), drawing on long-term
field experiments in the U.S. southern Great Plains. It discusses
the key relationships between yield, evapotranspiration, WUE and
best management practices. The fourth chapter considers the key
techniques for improving rice water productivity through enhanced
irrigation practices aiming to reduce irrigation water use in rice
cultivation, such as the Alternate Wetting and Drying technique.
The final chapter examines the main irrigation methods used in
dryland sorghum production. It also reviews the relationship
between soil properties and irrigation management.
This volume focusses on the problem of planning in the context of
robotics. Unlike most books on robotics planning which are either
too abstract or too specific, this one extends the techniques
developed for generic planning problems with robotics-specific
considerations so that the task of planning can be discussed in a
more uniform way. It also includes the latest results in
reconfigurable (mobile) robot planning, multiple robot planning,
plan recovery, and planning in uncertain environments. This volume
is probably the very first book in the market that provides a
theoretical foundation for planning techniques and their
applications. It also bridges the gap that has been existing for a
long time between computer scientists and application engineers. It
will be of interest to senior and graduate students in engineering
and computer science, AI researchers and professionals.
