Research Studies on the Agricultural and Commercial Field

The new Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm is giving to the scientific community the possibility to create integrated environments where information could be exchanged among heterogeneous characteristic networks in an automated way, in order to provide a richer experience to the user and to give specific relevant information regarding the particular environment in which the user is interacting with. Those characteristic are highly valuable for the novel nutrition-based vegetable production and distribution system, in which the multiple benefits of Big Data where used in order to generate a healthy food recommendation to the end user and to feed to the system different analytics to improve the system efficiency. Moreover, the different IoT capabilities, specifically automation and heterogeneous network communication are valuable to improve the information matrix of our project. This paper discusses the different IoT available technologies, their security capabilities and assessment, and how could be useful for our project.
