Comosum - An Extensible, Reconfigurable, and Fault-Tolerant IoT Platform for Digital Agriculture

Explore a conference talk from USENIX ATC '23 that introduces Comosum, an innovative IoT platform designed for digital agriculture. Discover how this extensible, reconfigurable, and fault-tolerant architecture integrates hardware, software, and distributed cloud abstractions to sense, analyze, and actuate on various farm types. Learn about FarmBIOS, an implementation of the Comosum architecture, and its performance in real-world deployments, including an edge analytics application achieving 86% accuracy in vineyard disease detection. Gain insights into the challenges of deploying networked systems in rural environments, including intermittent network outages and infrastructure limitations. Understand how Comosum addresses data aggregation, data analytics, and fault tolerance issues in digital agriculture systems, and explore its adaptability to new vendors and reconfigurability challenges in the cloud.
