International Participation
International Workshop Agreement on Reference architecture for data-driven agrifood systems
Following approval by the Technical Management Board of a proposal from the German Institute for Standardization(DIN), we are pleased to invite you to a workshop to develop an International Workshop Agreement (IWA 47) on Reference architecture for data-driven agrifood systems.
The workshop will take place virtually, over Zoom. Meeting credentials will be distributed to registered individuals near the date of the meetings.
The workshop will have four meetings, spaced by roughly four weeks. Each meeting will entail two sessions, held several hours apart, to enable participants worldwide to join at a time feasible for their time zone. The schedule for meetings and sessions is as follows:
· 6 August 2024 - 2nd Workshop Meeting (2 sessions: 12 pm – 3 pm; 8 pm – 11 pm, all in UTC)
· 3 September 2024 - 3rd Workshop Meeting (2 sessions: 12 pm – 3 pm; 8 pm –11 pm, all in UTC)
· 1 October 2024 - 4th Workshop Meeting (2 sessions: 12 pm – 3 pm; 8 pm –11 pm, all in UTC)
Participants are invited to attend as many sessions as is practical for them. The expectation is that the material covered in the two sessions of a given meeting will be very similar.
To participate, fill out the online registration form at https://bit.ly/3THCV7k
The Workshop participation will be opened to registered participants only.
