RESUMO

Lately there has been a growing demand for information systems for Precision Agriculture (P.A.), especially for web-based systems that manipulate both spatial and temporal information. Field-collected data are often analyzed with various kinds of software, usually privately owned or monolithically used, also limited in scope and unable to share information. The development of P.A. spatio-temporal information systems that allow the management of agricultural activities through an integrative approach demands a flexible architecture, interoperable and component-structured. In this context, it is the objective of this thesis to present the development of a software architecture design that allows the construction of web-based spatiotemporal systems for Precision Agriculture. This software architecture is proposed in a set of three architectural scenes based on the JEE platform, with its specifications, and a catalog of both spatio-temporal analysis patterns and spatio-temporal design patterns. Such patterns define solutions to both analysis and design problems that involve spatio-temporal data manipulation, thus making possible the reuse of specialized knowledge and the reuse of code. This work presents as a result, in form of a case study, the implementation of a web-component for the presentation of productivity maps on web-interface. This web-component is based on a design pattern from the patterns catalog proposed in this work and it shows how agricultural understanding and technical understanding can be embedded in a component for construction of spatio-temporal information systems for P. A.
