In the agricultural domain, the variety of data used by organizations is increasing rapidly. Also, there is an increasing demand for accessing these data. Now, the problem of the digital divide causes serious problems in manipulating the distributed information. Based on this condition, this paper presents the intelligent retrieval architecture of distributional agriculture science and technolo...

The technology of near-infrared spectroscopy analysis is one of the important ways to test agricultural products inside quality quantitatively. The nearinfrared spectral analysis system which used the technology of sound and light tunable filter (AOTF) can be applied to on-line measurement. The system constructed by AOTF, analysis optimization wavelength together with genetic algorithm, execute...

The use of new technologies including Geographic Information Systems (GIS), the Global Positioning System (GPS), Variable Rate Technology (VRT), and Remote Sensing (RS) is gaining acceptance in the present high-technology, precision agricultural industry. GIS provides the ability to link multiple data values for the same geo-referenced location, and provides the user with a graphical visualizat...

Objective: Today people are aware of the important role of agriculture as a vital source in their life. Development in agriculture and making healthy food for human, needs trained man. Vocational schools and agricultural training centers provided the first stage for arriving at this purpose. One of the reasons for the weak influence of agricultural training centers in creating occupational oppo...

Agricultural technology plays a critical role in increasing productivity and modernizing the industry. Recognizing importance of agriculture, governments devote significant public funds to research development creating an ecosystem for developing agricultural technology. While investing new is important, it also necessary pay attention adoption. For be sustainable, mass adoption needed. This st...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technology is one of the important technologies to implement the ubiquitous society, and it could increase productivity of agricultural and livestock products, and secure transparency of distribution channels if such a WSN technology were successfully applied to the agricultural sector. Middleware, which can connect WSN hardware, applications, and enterprise system...
