“…Different monitoring systems architectures have been proposed, some focused on natural resource management (Ferrández-Pastor et al, 2018;Hamouda & Msallam, 2018;Karim et al, 2017;Popović et al, 2017;Raut et al, 2018) whereas other for support to strengthening sustainable growth (Kruize et al, 2016;Musat et al, 2018). These general architectures must be adjusted to the heterogeneity of the fields and the availability of energy sources and data communication technologies.…”

“…Agricultural software ecosystems uses technological tools in the massive generation of a variety of data that are collected and analyzed to be used in the planning and analysis of the strategic decisions (Kruize et al, 2016). In (Musat et al, 2018) the authors stated that software tools support the operation of collaborative systems permitting to the smallholders producers to efficiently manage their crops, and they also facilitate the interaction with other agricultural agents and actors in the sector. The software platforms carry out the data collection and given the opportunity to send notifications to other producers in case of generalized problems, or if they are issues of common interest for the agricultural community.…”

Facing the challenges of the 21st century, into the agricultural sector have been designing strategies focused on the management of ecosystem resources, risk management associated with crops and the promotion of sustainable growth of agricultural communities. These strategies have been configured considering functional and competitive levels for open agricultural production systems, and usually based on low-cost technologies such that Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Internet of Things (IoT), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Cloud Computing, and Computational Algorithms. This approach allows the configuration, planning, and implementation of technological strategies for the agricultural sector, impacting in a positive way, generating higher production levels and intensive production cycles to strengthen the smallholder farmers.

This paper describes efforts by National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS) to help the Egyptian government to manage and monitor the national projects. We successfully developed a geospatial data sharing portal (NARSSGeoPortal) as part of the government need to build national Decision Support System (DSS). We were able to solve the software development issues as well as the satellite imagery sourcing issues, but the main challenge remains around how to collect complete and correct data from the public about their private businesses nationwide. The most challenging is how to engage the public and encourage the business owners who are the main sources of data to provide the government Geoportal with data about their businesses. It is also challenging to engage the scientists and experts from government research centers into the data sharing Geoportal. Furthermore, it is a challenge to integrate the government research centers with the public businesses’ daily operation. The data sharing Geoportal is built for all national projects and government authorities, however, in this paper we focus on the Agriculture authorities and farming businesses where the challenge is how to collect correct and complete data per acre about the seeds, fertilizers, water, pest control and all other farm related data that the satellite imagery does not provide. The goal is to integrate the farms into unified national monitoring, and control system while developing advanced smart farms with the use of Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed collaboration agriculture platform fills the gap between two groups. The first group includes the government authorities, financial institutions, and research centers. The second group includes farmers, supply chain, and agriculture engineers. The platform show how employment can be generated by transforming the national ecosystem. The paper also fills a major gap in industry as well as in academia by providing the first Bluetooth Low Energy computer aided design tool that will facilitate testing, designing, deploying, managing and debugging of real Bluetooth Low Energy networks.

“…These applications can be used in medium and big cities as well as in rural and suburban areas, where this and other kinds of applications based on the IoT are more commonly found. Other applications related to smart farming [ 7 ] and the cattle industry [ 8 ] have been developed in this domain.…”

New solutions for managing waste have emerged due to the rise of Smart Cities and the Internet of Things. These solutions can also be applied in rural environments, but they require the deployment of a low cost and low consumption sensor network which can be used by different applications. Wireless technologies such as LoRa and low consumption microcontrollers, such as the SAM L21 family make the implementation and deployment of this kind of sensor network possible. This paper introduces a waste monitoring and management platform used in rural environments. A prototype of a low consumption wireless node is developed to obtain measurements of the weight, filling volume and temperature of a waste container. This monitoring allows the progressive filling data of every town container to be gathered and analysed as well as creating alerts in case of incidence. The platform features a module for optimising waste collection routes. This module dynamically generates routes from data obtained through the deployed nodes to save energy, time and consequently, costs. It also features a mobile application for the collection fleet which guides every driver through the best route—previously calculated for each journey. This paper presents a case study performed in the region of Salamanca to evaluate the efficiency and the viability of the system’s implementation. Data used for this case study come from open data sources, the report of the Castilla y León waste management plan and data from public tender procedures in the region of Salamanca. The results of the case study show a developed node with a great lifetime of operation, a large coverage with small deployment of antennas in the region, and a route optimization system which uses weight and volume measured by the node, and provides savings in cost, time and workforce compared to a static collection route approach.
