Open source software for modelling using agro-environmental georeferenced data.

In Agronomy and Environment, due to the increasing number of automatic sensors and devices, there is an emerging need to integrate georeferenced and temporal data into decision support tools, traditionally based on expert knowledge. Soft computing techniques and software suited to these needs may be very useful for modelling and decision making. This work presents an open source framework designed for that purpose. It is based upon open source toolboxes, and its design is inspired by the fuzzy software capabilities developed in FisPro for ordinary non georeferenced data. A real world application is included, and some perspectives are given to meet the challenge of using soft computing for georeferenced data.
