JUNE 3-4: HEF AT INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE CONFERENCE
The 21st Annual International Digital Landscape Architecture Conference took place on June 3-4, 2020.
Instead of an on-site conference at Harvard, USA, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the programs were organized as “ALL Virtual Online Conference” with about 300 active participants.
The online conference was held over two half-days with a combination of “several keynotes”, “special Topics - COVID-Inspired Innovations”, and “concurrent speakers’ sessions” each day.
The Hans Eisenmann-Forum in collaboration with the chair of Geoinformatics submitted a paper, which can be found here. The paper introduces a distributed digital twin of the Agricultural Landscape. This work was presented in half-a-Ted-talk style (7 minutes) by HEF-team member Mandana Moshrefzadeh.
The conference programme can be found here.
The full paper can be found in the journal of Landscape Architecture as an open-access paper: https://gispoint.de/fileadmin/user_upload/paper_gis_open/DLA_2020/537690019.pdf

Title: Towards a Distributed Digital Twin of the Agricultural Landscape
Author(s): Moshrefzadeh, Mandana; Machl, Thomas; Gackstetter, David; Donaubauer, Andreas; Kolbe, Thomas H.
Abstract:
Agricultural landscapes form a complex system of interacting and changing elements and subsystems. They involve stakeholders from varying disciplines each with their own resources and perspectives. Understanding and working with such a complex system requires a comprehensive description of the whole ecosystem and an approach that enables interoperable and cross-scale management of distributed information resources. We introduce a concept that we call the distributed digital twin of the agricultural landscape, which handles the distributed nature of resources over different stakeholders and platforms while providing a basis for integrating both pre-existing, historical and real-time information for physical things such as landscape objects.
