Decision Agriculture

In this chapter, the latest developments in the field of decision agriculture are discussed. The practice of management zones in digital agriculture is described for efficient and smart faming. Accordingly, the methodology for delineating management zones is presented. Modeling of decision support systems is explained along with discussion of the issues and challenges in this area. Moreover, the precision agriculture technology is also considered. Moreover, the chapter surveys the state of the decision agriculture technologies in the countries such as Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Israel, Malaysia, Pakistan, United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Sweden. Finally, different field factors such as GPS accuracy and crop growth are also analyzed

IoTFC: A Secure and Privacy Preserving Architecture for Smart Buildings

In the pursuit of cities to be more efficient and responsive, various kind of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as actuators and sensors are used. This paper focuses on one specific IoT application - the smart building, and investigates the security and privacy issues in an integrated IoT-fog-cloud (IoTFC) smart building architecture. We consider the surveillance, maintenance, environment, and concierge use cases for smart building, in terms of their characteristics, compatible communication technology, and security and privacy requirements. IoTFC provides a comprehensive solution to the security and privacy challenges of authentication, access control, anomaly detection, data privacy and location privacy. To the best of our knowledge, IoTFC is a novel architecture, as it combines a complete set of light-weight security and privacy solutions suitable for smart buildings
