Those aspects bring in a substantial degree of uncertainty in system operation. Also, impact factors, such as weather factors, are critical in agricultural systems but these factors are uncontrollable in system management. Modern agriculture has been evolving through precision agriculture beginning in the late 1980s and biotechnological innovations in the early 2000s. Precision agriculture implements site-specific crop production management by integrating agricultural mechanization and information technology in geographic information system (GIS), global navigation satellite system (GNSS), and remote sensing. Now, precision agriculture is set to evolve into smart agriculture with advanced systematization, informatization, intelligence and automation. From precision agriculture to smart agriculture, there is a substantial amount of specific control and communication problems that have been investigated and will continue to be studied. In this book, the core ideas and methods from control problems in agricultural production systems are extracted, and a system view of agricultural production is formulated for the analysis and design of management strategies to control and optimize agricultural production systems while exploiting the intrinsic feedback information-exchanging mechanisms. On this basis, the theoretical framework of agricultural cybernetics is established to predict and control the behavior of agricultural production systems through control theory. 410 0$aAgriculture Automation and Control,$x2731-3506 606 $aAgriculture$xAutomation 606 $aAgricultura de precisió$2thub 606 $aProductes agrícoles$2thub 606 $aInnovacions tecnològiques$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAgriculture$xAutomation. 615 7$aAgricultura de precisió. 615 7$aProductes agrícoles 615 7$aInnovacions tecnològiques 676 $a635 700 $aHuang$b Yanbo$f1958-$0772193 702 $aZhang$b Qin$f1956- 712 02$aSpringer Link$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495191303321 996 $aAgricultural cybernetics$92841944 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03926nam 2200649Ia 450 001 9910785185103321 005 20230725024646.0 010 $a0-470-65130-X 010 $a1-282-75608-7 010 $a9786612756085 010 $a0-470-65129-6 035 $a(CKB)2670000000036155 035 $a(EBL)564957 035 $a(OCoLC)665817426 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000424765 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11322955 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000424765 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10475020 035 $a(PQKB)11251921 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC564957 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL564957 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10419146 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL275608 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000036155 100 $a20100319d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOutperform$b[electronic resource] $einside the investment strategy of billion dollar endowments /$fJohn Baschab and Jon Piot 210 $aHoboken, N.J. $cWiley$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (333 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-118-96184-6 311 $a0-470-44213-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aOutperform: Inside the Investment Strategy of Billion Dollar Endowments; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgments; Part I: ACADEMIC ENDOWMENTS; Chapter 1: Academic Endowments Overview; Chapter 2: Historical Endowment Performance; Chapter 3: A Look Inside Endowments; Part II: PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES; Chapter 4: Jonathan Hook, Chief Investment Officer; Chapter 5: Guy Patton, President and Chief Executive Officer; Chapter 6: Bruce Zimmerman, Chief Investment Officer; Part III: PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES; Chapter 7: James H.C.
