“…On the one hand, we can see the different technologies being applied in this field to improve the capabilities of DT, such as AI, distributed computing, 5G, virtual reality, or IoT [27]. On the other hand, we can see the ever-widening field of application areas such as energy control systems for fault detection and energy saving and processes related to manufacturing such as transportation and cities [28]. The area that concerns us, agriculture, is also undergoing a necessary evolution to meet the challenges of increased population or climate change.…”

One of the main lines of research in distributed learning in recent years is the one related to Federated Learning (FL). In this work, a decentralized Federated Learning algorithm based on consensus (CoL) is applied to Wireless Ad-hoc Networks (WANETs), where the agents communicate with other agents to share their learning model as they are available to the wireless connection range. When deploying a set of agents, it is essential to study whether all the WANET agents will be reachable before the deployment. The paper proposes to explore it by generating a simulation close to the real world using a framework (FIVE) that allows the easy development and modification of simulations based on Unity and SPADE agents. A fruit orchard with autonomous tractors is presented as a case study. The paper also presents how and why the concept of artifact has been included in the above-mentioned framework as a way to highlight the importance of some devices used in the environment that have to be located in specific places to ensure the full connection of the system. This inclusion is the first step to allow Digital Twins to be modeled with this framework, now allowing a Digital Shadow of those devices.
