    Digital Transformation in Forestry - Stakeholders and Data Collection in German Forests
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Pleger, Michael; Schiering, Ina
    This paper examines the process of data collection within forestry and its individuals and organizations in Germany as a first step towards digitization. Germany has one of the largest forest areas in Europe and plays a significant role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and providing ecosystem services to society. To fulfill this role, data collection is required by law for most forests in Germany. This data collection has been historically labor intensive and time consuming. Data collection through Internet of Things (IoT) devices has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of forestry operations while also providing valuable insights into forest health and productivity. Modern data collection through drones and satellite imagery already provide significant benefits to the economy of forestry. This could be further enhanced by low-cost IoT devices bundled as sensor networks in forests to gather data over a lifespan of a forest.

    IAL: An Information Abstraction Layer for IoT Middleware
    (INFORMATIK 2020, 2021) Günter, Andrei; Schwarzer, Christopher; König, Matthias
    The internet of things is an ever-expanding world of connected devices and services. Through observation of analog and digital processes, plenty of information is continuously produced. More than often, the information thus obtained is tailored to serve one separate purpose. Existing architectures omit the fact that partial results can be enriched with meta information and can be shared among network participants while information is processed. We show that enriched and simplified information packages can be shared to facilitate cooperation between constrained and smart devices as well as to serve for system optimization. In this work, we propose an implementation of the so-called information abstraction layer which serves as collective resource for querying mechanisms to provide information. To emphasize and illustrate the need for a standardized information abstraction layer into existing middleware, we outline a realistic example of use and introduce concepts to build and evaluate shared information in networks.
