FIWARE is an open source platform for the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, driven by European Union and managed by FIWARE Foundation. Recently, FIWARE Foundation has launched his new product Agricolus, which focus on Smart Farming and it uses FIWARE infrastructure. Agricolus manages to bring Hardware and Software together in a decision-making process that support farming activities and offers a "plug and play" interface for precision agriculture. This is encompassed by the phenomenon of Smart Farming, which is a development that take advantage of the use of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in the daily farm management. This review aims to gain insight into the state-of-the-art of FIWARE in Smart Farming and identify the components of Agricolus in comparison with essential FIWARE architecture.

“…In that state the smart spraying concept would have been just another supplementary add-on among the farming equipment, therefore potentially resulting in additional tool management and interoperability issues, contrary to the original idea of providing ease of use and the tailoring of services. This observation led to an innovative leap, that is to say, an idea of a farming service framework that exploits the generic enablers of the FI to achieve the seamless integration of all kinds of farming related information technology services and equipment [78]. Thus, the service framework represents a kind of process control system in the farming context and may be utilized and tailored to fit not only the spraying activity but also other activities of arable farming.…”

This paper describes the use of functional models in a participatory design process to facilitate user involvement in complex system design. The particular case study presented here is the design of Future Internet-enabled farming system to address the global food chain challenges. Taking an end-user perspective during the development of systems and infrastructures in order to assist people in their work and everyday lives sets new challenge for complex system design. In extending the use of functional models by adopting the human factors engineering perspective, we show how future practice was made tangible and subject to the value estimations of a variety of end-user groups. In the food chain related development project, functional models facilitated the creative agency of the food chain actors and enabled a participatory design process in which the agricultural engineers and the food chain actors collaborative worked on a vision of future farming.

Field Readiness and Operation Scheduling

Field Readiness and Operation Scheduling

Knowing the readiness of a field for an agricultural operation is an important factor when creating seasonal and daily operational plans. To insure an efficient use of resources farm managers and agricultural contractors must make difficult decisions and must often rely on a "gut feeling". A large amount of information may be available, such as meteorically and geographical data, however this must be filtered and converted in to actionable knowledge in order for it to be useful. In this paper, a participatory approach is used to develop a concept of a Decision Support System (DSS) to make recommendations as to when a field is ready for an agricultural operation. Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is used to clarify the current situation, which is inherently difficult to model due to the organic nature of the system and subjective opinions of those involved. The result of the SSM is a model that is the direct outcome of the experience of farm managers and agricultural contractors, and that can further be understood by computer scientists. The system of the proposed DSS is described in terms of the feasible datasets required and the inter relationships between the datasets, as well as suggestions of the level of detail of data. The proposed DSS is aimed to either operate as a stand-alone system taking direct inputs, or under a larger Farm Management Information System (FMIS) framework.
