Applying the Internet of Things in Precision Viticulture: An Approach Exploring the EXEHDA Middleware

Advances in Internet of Things (IoT) have enabled interoperation between various intelligent devices, collecting and distributing contextual information, thus allowing more sophisticated models to provide context awareness. The use of middlewares is highlighted in the literature as an alternative to device management in distributed IoT infrastructure, as well as to make contextual processing more transparent to applications. Regarding this scenario, the objective of this work is to present the approach designed to provide Fog Computing to the EXEHDA middleware, providing Context Awareness for the computational edge devices present in the monitored environments. A study case was carried out in the area of Precision Viticulture (PV) evaluating the proposed approach.
