Location:
Speaker:
Prof Dimitrios Pyromalis
Affiliation:
Technological Education Institution of Piraeus
Synopsis:
The subject of the presentation is the design of embedded systems for applications in agriculture. The focus will be on data acquisition and communication systems. Presentation is organized in four parts: i) applications description, ii) architectures, iii) design and implementation, and iv) systems demonstration. Attendees will see the applications met in agriculture followed by their description, aims, and requirements for systems and skills. Also, the architectures with which data acquisition and communication systems can be designed will be presented as well. In addition, the associated development tools ecosystem will be presented together with some real life systems demonstration.
