Internet of things in agriculture. An architectural proposal for an automated watering system based on a wireless sensors' network

Abstract

In this thesis an automated watering system based on a wireless sensors’ network architectural design is presented. Initially, previous works and approaches are thoroughly described helping in a double sided way both by identifying the current state and by providing knowledge and technical background. This thesis makes a step forward compared to other approaches, as it will be analyzed, since it proposes a system where 3 entities will interact utilizing IoT, Cloud and mobile application approaches. Responsibilities and actions of each subsystem as well as the way of their interaction is explained providing a clear architectural design that could be implemented in the future.
