农业格网与农业信息系统的发展

Agricultural grid and information system development

信息与通信科技的快速发展与因特网数据系统不断建立所形成的知识平台,其最重要的发展效益是能整合运用许多网络资源与分散的异质数据。农业信息系统的终极发展与体系之建立,其架构将会有如农业格网,基于格网发展农业信息系统,能适当的共享网络上多元的计算能力、各类的农业技术数据库、无线多媒体感测网络、生产规划与分析模型、不同来源与形式的信息等,而能达到积极有效的应用发展,例如全面的食品安全生产履历系统、决策支持系统等多元化的应用。该文除简介农业格网发展相关的分散与共用整合之格网架构,并探讨了台湾农业格网相关的发展计划,包括无线多媒体感测网络的发展与应用、生产履历、自动化系统整合等。并据此探讨农业信息系统的分层发展架构及提供农业信息系统发展接口,以及农民使用者接口的需要。

Rapidly evolved information and communication technology(ICT)in recent years as well as continuously and fast built enormous data resources in the Internet construct a broad virtual knowledge platform.The advantages on the platform are to develop applications which can coordinate distributed resources and heterogeneous information.The ultimate development of the information systems in agriculture will be performed as a big agricultural grid properly applying,shares multiple computing power,various agricultural technology databases,wireless multimedia sensor networks(WMSNs),production plan and analytic models,information of different resources and forms,etc.to achieve more efficient and aggressive applications such as to develop whole food safe production traceability system,decision support system,etc.In this article,the Ag-IT(agricultural information technology)related developments according to grid of distributed and sharing structure will be discussed.Several Ag-IT related projects developed in Taiwan,such as field monitoring using WMSNs,food safety,automation integration,etc.are also be introduced.The importance of delaminated structure fulfillment,protocol establishment,and farmer interface development for a successful agricultural information system development is also discussed according to grid.
