Chinnachodteeranun, Kumpee Teeravech","doi":"10.1145/2637064.2637094","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2637064.2637094","url":null,"abstract":"An agricultural information service platform, called FieldTouch, is being built and tested on geospatial data infrastructure and crop modeling framework. More than 100 farmers in Hokkaido, Japan, have been participating on this development and are utilizing the services for optimizing their daily agricultural practices, e.g., planning and targeting areas where to apply fertilizer more to enhance homogeneity of growth and robustness of crops in their fields. FieldTouch integrates multi-scale sensor data for field monitoring, provides functionality for recording agricultural practices, then supports farmers in decision making e.g., fertilizer management. RapidEye satellite images are being used for monitoring vegetation status updated every two weeks. Field sensor data from 25 nodes record soil moisture and temperature data at different soil depths, and suites of meteorological variables e.g., rainfall, minimum and maximum temperature, solar radiation, wind, etc. every 10 minutes. Data from national weather observation network, AMeDAS, is also a source of daily weather data. We used \"cloudSense\" sensor backend service that serves meta-data and data to FieldTouch via a standard web service called SOS (Sensor Observation Service), which brought great flexibility and enhanced automation of system's operation. Using agronomic data from experimental station, the cultivar parameters (genetic coefficients) of a local wheat variety were calibrated for the DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) crop model using data assimilation. These were built in a web-based DSSAT wheat crop model called Tomorrow's Wheat (TMW) where in a user can explore the effects of timing of sowing at a given climatic condition, soil and crop management. TMW accesses long-term weather data from the on-line observation station up to the most recent archive, parameterize a built-in weather generator, then generate 100 weather scenarios then runs the wheat model at the chosen planting date, then two weeks, and one week before and after that. The yields are presented as distribution of yields at these different planting options. Future developments are going-on to personalize more the system so that the user can input fertilizer scenario, and be able also to apply seasonal climate forecast, and link to the 25 sensor nodes to simulate current plant conditions given a management scenario. In this way, the user can be informed better on how to manage their sources of vulnerabilities in their fields.","PeriodicalId":239987,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart Sensing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115132150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This sensing framework, so called participatory sensing, distributes various sensing tasks (e.g., whether report, waiting time in a queue, traffic conditions etc.) to possible participants. Then, participants can select and achieve the sensing tasks. However, in the coming future with the rapid growth of participatory sensing and increasing number of sensing tasks, it must be very hard for users to choose appropriate sensing tasks around them. To solve this problem, we propose a system called Help Me!, which can value and visualize importance of sensing tasks by quantifying them in cooperation with physical sensors. Since Help Me! system provides objective index for sensing tasks, it enhances opportunity for users to participate to sensing tasks. We designed and implemented Help Me! system as an integrated architecture of physical sensors and participatory sensors. Through initial in-lab experiment, we confirmed that Help Me! system can enhance opportunity to participate to sensing tasks for users.","PeriodicalId":239987,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart Sensing","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127109080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They communicate using Web standards and protocols. Interactions are complex because numerous heterogeneous objects interact together in open environments. It is interesting to consider a WoT subsystem as a single entity. The interaction between entities of two different WoT subsystems can then be treated as a one-to-one interaction. In this paper we present an approach which consists in transforming a many-to-many interaction problem into a one-to-one problem, using a recursive model.","PeriodicalId":239987,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart Sensing","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130213062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing only on the skyline, the optimal composition can still be obtained and the optimization process at the request time can be largely sped up. How to compute the skyline for a generalized component service is elaborated at last.","PeriodicalId":239987,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart Sensing","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116689614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paradigm has made the concept of smart cities a reality that is now in synchrony with the needs and requirements for living in this era. Whether it concerns commuters in public transportations or users of existential services such as hospitals, the implementation of smart cities is equally important in developed countries than in the least developed countries. Unfortunately, in the latter, sensors and the associated technologies are not readily available to implement smart cities. It is therefore necessary to identify surrogate ways of sensing the ambient environment. In this position paper, we discuss the situation in least developed countries and the obstacles to common implementations of smart cities. We also provide a preliminary enumeration of how mobile-phones with SMS-based services and the cultural model can be leveraged to build smart cities in such urban technological deserts.","PeriodicalId":239987,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2014 International Workshop on Web Intelligence and Smart Sensing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130181687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Collected data such as image and sensor values are transferred to cloud services such as Flickr and Twitter through the Internet. Our system can realize low cost and high quality field monitoring. Hardware experiments to confirm the capability of the proposed monorail-based monitoring system in terms of the photographed image quality were performed.
