4.1.3 Smart Constituents
The designed agents’ services for pesticides, fertilizers, crop, soil, water and relater
machines like sprinklers, etc. expose functionalities which monitor the state of the
objects they are bound to. Agents develop and elect plans and generate recommendations. Most importantly they negotiate results with other agent services and
users.
4.1.4 Service of “Virtual Discussion Room” for Coordinated Decision
Making
Software agents are organized in a Virtual Discussion Room (VDR) for coordinated
and synchronized decision-making and to provide consultation for farmers. It is a
regular happening that new unpredictable situations arise in the realm of the ecosystem. A re-balancing of goals, their related plans, beliefs of the agents need to be
done for new scenarios emerging from the current situations. This will give rise to
new vents that are triggered and this cycle will go on which will constantly require
discussion among the agents. Negotiator agent, in case of a conversation with other
agents invites all the agents to the discussion. After receiving acknowledgement
from other agents, the Negotiator agent demands for proposals from other agents.
Now the other agents analyze the problem scope and they submit the proposal to the
Negotiator agent. Now the Negotiator re-calculates the indicators (checks that there
is no more in-homogeneity in the system). As a result either the proposal is accepted
or rejected. This goes on for a fixed number of iterations or a fixed time stamp until
the conflict is resolved or finally rolled over and the system is restored to a previous
state.
4.1.5 Smart Agent of Agronomist Simulator in Mobile Phone
A mobile phone or a tablet preferably a smart phone with internet is required by the
agriculturist to receive relevant information, news, happenings through events that
are triggered on the farm or anywhere that is linked to the farmer. He can also be
a part of some discussions. Advices from professionals can also be made use of by
him. All this is done by the use of a service called Agronomist Simulator through
which nearly all the task of the agronomist comes to his finger tips or we can say
that he can operate upon all the functions on the field by sitting at home.
The Fig. 4 shows the ABSMSA model where respective agents are exposing
services to carry out the intelligent agro-automation process. The agents responsible for the fields and the crops expose the farm service. The supervisor agent
controls the satellites and drones for vigilance over the agriculture land. These
services are grouped under ‘monitoring services’. The Machine Agent, PPP agent
and Manure_FertAgent provide the ‘resource management services’.
