Digital twin deployment for smart agriculture in Cloud-Fog-Edge infrastructure

The rapid adoption of Cloud, Fog, and Edge computing paradigms, along with Digital Twin (DT) technology, is being observed across numerous domains. Smart Agriculture is one such domain, where diverse requirements exist for applications that range from Augmented Reality, Satellite, and auto harvesters to a multitude of agricultural devices and sensors. While the integration of Cloud, Fog, and Edge computing can address various challenges, it can also pose some difficulties, including resource allocation, resource scheduling, and task scheduling. To address these challenges and enhance the productivity and sustainability of Smart Agriculture, this paper presents a novel architecture based on Cloud, Fog, Edge computing, and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), incorporating the concept of Digital Twin. This proposed architecture is implemented in Smart Agricultural farms and fields, opening up new contemporary applications in the Agriculture domain.
