Emerging Technologies for Computing, Communication and Smart Cities

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering ((LNEE,volume 875))

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) furnished recent cultivated procedures can alter the prevailing agriculture mechanisms by computerizing the complete technique of farming since crop-management, aquatic irrigation to creating superior judgments in accordance with real-time monitoring of conservational circumstances, situations of soil and surroundings of landscape during the prevailing periods, technology spurred preciseness agriculture explanations have spurred a framework towards stagnant and instruction physical agriculture procedures to automatic preciseness positioning agricultural procedures by the current innovations like agricultural IoT and AI, WSN assisted harvest checking along with its control and cloud computing. During the projected assessment, a demanding and elaborated calculation has been performed to recognize the scope of the study and study the modern knowledge sparked applications and policies. Furthermore, in this paper, five strands IoAT-based PA model is presented. The first strands represent the physical level maneuvers, second strands define safety rules, third strands explain effective data-management performs, fourth strands deliver operative irrigation prototypes, and the last strands deliberate technology-aided facilities for aquatic management. Lastly, alongside upcoming guidelines, definite investigation of the performed literature review in the visual form accompanied by acquired reviews and academic training were delineated.
