Farming today relies on ever-increasing forms of data gathering, transfer, and analysis. Think of autonomous tractors and weeding robots, chip-implanted animals and underground infrastructures with inbuilt sensors, and drones or satellites offering image analysis from the air. Despite this evolution, however, the social sciences have almost completely overlooked the resulting problematics of power and control. This piece offers an initial review of the main surveillance issues surrounding the problematic of smart farming, with a view to outlining a broader research agenda into the making, functioning, and acting of Big Data in the agricultural sector. For surveillance studies, the objective is also to move beyond the predominant focus on urban space that characterises critical contemporary engagements with Big Data. Smart technologies shape the rural just as much as the urban, and “smart farms” are just as fashionable as “smart cities.”

The effective deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications such as smart cities, smart farming and smart transport systems must ensure the network robustness, scalability and longevity. Therefore, guaranteeing the successful delivery of information and extending the lifetime of the nodes that make up a wireless sensor network (WSN) are two essential aspects for IoT applications. This work evaluates the performance of a cooperative WSN by adopting two multiantenna schemes: antenna selection (AS) and beamforming transmission using the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. In addition, cooperation is established according to an ON–OFF probability, so that the RF receiving circuits of the relays are activated in a probabilistic way, aiming at reducing the energy consumption of the sensors, extending their useful lifetime. Our main goal is to increase the amount of information effectively transmitted by the network, keeping an outage probability constraint. The results show that, when both techniques are used, there is a significant gain in the amount of information effectively transmitted by the network, with emphasis on the AS scheme at short transmission distances. By increasing the number of antennas, it was found that a lower ON–OFF probability is required, i.e., a trade-off is established between the nodes’ hardware complexity and their need for cooperation.

Connected devices have access to every part of our lives with the increasing implementation of the internet of things (IoT), from home automation, health and fitness, automobile, logistics, to smart cities, and industrial IoT. Therefore, it is only natural that IoT, connected devices, and automation find their application in agriculture, and as such, greatly enhance almost every facet of it. In recent decades, farming has undergone a variety of technological changes, becoming more industrialized and powered by technology. Farmers have gained effective control and efficiency over the process of raising livestock and growing crops through the use of various smart farming devices. Within this chapter, the authors discuss and analyze the advantages of using IoT within agriculture. They present the IoT system architecture to allow smart farming. This chapter also covers the advantages of integrating the blockchain into the agricultural field. Case studies are included in the end for your reference.

A Internet das Coisas se refere à interconexão digital de serviços do cotidiano com a Internet, formando uma rede de objetos físicos capazes de coletar e transmitir dados. Os sistemas baseados em Internet das Coisas são usados em vários domínios de aplicação, incluindo e-commerce, Smart Cities e Smart Farming. Atualmente a construção de sistemas para a Internet das Coisas possuem vários desafios de pesquisa, dos quais a implantação de aplicações, utilizando o conceito de contêineres sobre recursos computacionais disponibilizados na nuvem, é uma linha importante. Este artigo propõe e apresenta uma infraestrutura multi-nuvem baseada em contêineres para implantação de aplicações voltadas para a Smart Farming. Resultados iniciais mostram que a utilização de clusters, independentes do provedor de nuvem, aumenta a escala- bilidade e disponibilidade das aplicações implantadas.


Internet of Things (IoT) technology, has been changed every area of human life by making everything. Well-Developed and bright IOT communicates that a network of things or people which make a self-building network. Smart farming food excellently and supportable for the public. High quality farming-based is one of the most important arena systems of increasing food excellently and supportable for the public. High quality farming is one of the well-known applications of IoT in the agriculture are and plentiful establishments are taking advantage of this procedure around the world. One more type of IoT invention in farming and one more element of high-quality farming is harvest management devices. And weather positions, they should be placed in the field to collect data designed only for happening and only with in crop farming, from temperature and rainfall to leaf water and complete crop health. The use of farming-based drones in smart farming. Also called as UAVs (unmanned air vehicles), drones are drones are well prepared than airplanes and satellites to collect farming-based data. With the increasing approval of the Internet of Things (IoT), connected devise have got into every trait of our life from health, home automation, self-pushed and planning required to move people and supplies to where they’re needed, smart cities and industrial IoT.

This paper presents the evaluation of usersХ experiences in three intelligent lighting pilots in Finland. Two of the case studies are related to the use of intelligent lighting in different kinds of traffic areas, having emphasis on aspects of visibility, traffic and movement safety, and sense of security. The last case study presents a more complex view to the experience of intelligent lighting in smart city contexts. The evaluation methods, tailored to each pilot context, include questionnaires, an urban dashboard, in-situ interviews and observations, evaluation probes, and system data analyses. The applicability of the selected and tested methods is discussed reflecting the process and achieved results.
