Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart agriculture is able to produce high yields via the optimal use of resources and has become a must in today’s world due to the increasing population and the scarcity and cost of resources such as water, fuel, fertilizers, etc. The use of advanced technologies in agriculture is needed to balance food supplies and demand.
The Internet of Things (IoT), which enables seamless communication between physical devices and the broad Internet, makes it possible to create automated monitoring and decision-making systems for smart agriculture to reduce resource consumption and to decrease production costs. Although IoT-based models are very promising for smart agriculture, many details surrounding their development still need to be addressed to create power-efficient, low-cost, secure, and widely deployable solutions.
This Special Issue aims to bring together scholars from academia and industry to discuss and present the most recent research and findings on the use of IoT for smart agriculture.
Topics of primary interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Deployment of sensors and IoT modules for smart agriculture;
- Novel applications of IoT in smart agriculture;
- Artificial Intelligence for smart agriculture;
- Security and privacy in smart agriculture;
- Energy harvesting and power management of IoT devices;
- Reliability and accuracy of sensors in smart agriculture;
- Connectivity and coverage;
- Wireless sensor and actuator networks in smart agriculture;
- Data fusion and aggregation;
- Cloud/edge/fog computing in smart agriculture;
- Modelling and performance evaluations;
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in smart agriculture
