    Location aware system for olive fruit fly spray
    (Integration of Environmental Information in Europe, 2010) Pontikakos, Costas; Tsiligiridis, Theodore
    Location-awareness significantly enhances the functionality of ubiquitous computing services and applications, and enriches the way they interact with the users and resources in the environment. Many location-aware systems adapt the way they behave according to the context of the current location without explicit user intervention. The aim is to increase usage and effectiveness by taking environmental context of a specified location into account. In this work we present the design and functional simulation of a Location-Aware System (LAS) suitable for the ground control of the olive fruit fly. The proposed system enables rapid prototyping of location-aware services in an intelligent precision farming environment and combines location sensing technologies with wireless Internet, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Expert Systems (ES), and Decision Support Systems (DSS). We focused on the design of an ES, mainly by designing the Knowledge Base (KB) and by outlining the factors and infrastructure that must be considered during the olive fruit fly spraying process. Based on this framework we can develop specific Location-aware services such as finding if the current area is to be sprayed, estimating the amount of the spraying solution that must be sprayed, abort for a reason the spraying process etc. These services aim in a more efficient and environmental friendly control of the olive fruit fly.
