Abstract:
Effective precision agriculture requires the gathering and managing of geospatial data from several sources. This is important for the decision support system of automated farming. Distributed system architecture offers methods to combine these variable spatial data. We have studied architectural and protocol choices of distributed solutions and built up a demonstration implementation of the system. As one of the key factors of the system is interoperability, we applied standards for geospatial and agricultural data, a location-based service platform, and a technology of geosensor networks in the implemented system. We successfully demonstrated the interoperability and scalability requirements and functionality of the implemented system.
