Summary

In order to meet the requirements of maintaining the quality of stored cereal grain, the development of a new type of expert system dedicated to malting barley was undertaken. This book is composed of five sections that include original contributions from European experts on stored grain science and technology. The different steps in the research and development process as well as the difficulties that were overcome during the construction of the prototype of a computer-assisted decision support system are reported. The conclusions define the potential use of such a system for maintaining the quality of stored grain up to delivery to the end users.
Public: Researchers, professors, teachers, students (agriculture and agri-food and-feed sciences), engineers and professionals of food industry, stored grain stocks managers.
