02/06/18 Interoperability, Ag, and Smart Cities

Joshua Peschel, assistant professor of agriculture and biosystems engineering, Iowa State University, says interoperability has been a problem for a while, and we have started addressing with standards, but as systems grow complex, it is still going to be a persistent, lingering issue. He says we all have a better job to do with interoperability. More specifically, there is a smart-cities paradox because of security silos that exist today, and this doesn’t currently exist in agriculture, according to Peschel.
