An Integrated (Crop Model, Cloud and Big Data Analytic) Framework to support Agriculture Activity Monitoring System

Abstract

Agriculture activity monitoring needs to deal with large amounts of data originating from various organizations (weather stations, agriculture repositories, field management, farm management, universities, etc.) and mass people. Therefore, a scalable environment with flexible information access, easy communication, and real-time collaboration from all types of computing devices, including mobile handheld devices such as smartphones, PDAs and iPads, Geo-sensor devices, etc. are essential. The system must be accessible, scalable, and transparent from location, migration, and resources. In addition, the framework should support modern information retrieval and management systems, unstructured information to structured information processing, task prioritization, task distribution, workflow and task scheduling systems, processing power, and data storage. Thus, High Scalability Computing (HSC) or Cloud-based systems with Big data analytics can be a prominent and convincing solution for this circumstance. In this paper, we are going to propose an integrated (crop model, cloud, and big data analytics) geo-information framework to support agriculture activity monitoring systems.
