<p>Dear Colleague(s),</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Organizers of the III
International Conference on Agro Big Data and Decision
Support Systems in Agriculture (BigDSSAgro 2019) would
like to invite you to participate in the conference by
submitting a contributed paper (extended abstract).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">BigDSSAgro 2019 will be held
at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María in Valparaíso,
Chile, September 25-27, 2019. <a

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The BigDSSAgro2019
conference is the third conference in the series devoted
to decision support systems in agriculture, which combine
Operational Research methods and Big Data techniques to
support many real-world decision-making problems in small
scale farming, industrial agriculture, smart farms,
agri-business supply chains, land use and environmental
protection, among others. In BigDSSAgro 2019, the scope
will be extended to focus on decisions, technologies and
innovation for the 2030 agriculture. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Authors are invited to
submit extended abstracts of their recent work by May 20,
2019. See the submissions guidelines for more information
in the conference web page. The Program Committee will
select the papers to be presented on the basis of the
submitted extended abstracts. It is expected that revised
and extended versions will subsequently be submitted for
publication in a post-conference special issue to be
announced. <a
