Application of Sensor Web Concept in Agriculture

Abstract

Monitoring of environmental parameters is one of the important prerequisite for the improvement of agricultural production. Today it is possible to use a sensor network for the detection and identification of a large number of parameters and phenomena, from simple to complex one. The integration of data from different sensor platforms is enabled using the Sensor Web concept which provides a way to access and setting tasks for sensors over the Internet. The aim was to introduce the structure of the Sensor Web and to point the possibility of their use in agriculture by providing users with accurate information that have a significant contribution in the process of making right decisions.

Kontinuirano praćenje parametara životne sredine predstavlja jedan od značajnih preduslova za unapređenje poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Danas je moguće koristiti senzorske mreže za detekciju i identifikaciju velikog broja parametara i pojava. Integracija podataka sa različitih senzorskih platformi omogućena je primenom Sensor Web koncepta koji daje mogućnost pristupu i upravljanju senzorima preko Interneta. Cilj rada bio je upoznavanje sa strukturom Sensor Web-a i ukazivanje na mogućnosti njihove primene u oblasti poljoprivrede pružajući korisnicima precizne podatke na osnovu kojih će oni pravovremeno donositi adekvatne odluke.
