Abstract
In agricultural environments, know-how and experience of skillful agricultural experts, who may are farmers, researchers, market analysts, distribution specialists, and so on, have been more important roles than ever. Especially, for farmers newly trying to cultivate a high value crops, the knowledge and the experience of experts for the crops will be very important factors for successful cultivation. So, for higher productivity and better quality, the valuable information has to be able to be supplied easily and quickly to a user in agricultural environments. Cloud computing technologies may suggest a potential service model to do that through Internet and various state-of-edge technologies based on IT. In this paper, we introduce a service model based on an agricultural expert Cloud to support a smart farm service in ubiquitous agricultural environments. The introduced service is based an expert system, in which the knowledge and the experience of the various fields related in agriculture is accumulated. So, by easily gaining the valuable knowledge and experience about a specific crop through the expert Cloud, a user can efficiently and successfully cultivate any crops in ubiquitous agricultural environments.
