        Internet of Things (IoT) as an emerging technology in the field of Information and Communication Technology is the next revolution related to the Internet application. IoT focuses on the communication of things such as sensors, drivers, devices, etc., with data collection capability controlling remote communication rather than focusing on the communication between people. Development of smart solutions and new technologies of IoT in agriculture can pave the way to a new paradigm of farming called “Smart Agriculture” by making a fundamental change in all aspects of current practices. IoT-based Smart Agriculture can improve agricultural productivity with more food production through the optimal utilization of the basic resources, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing the costs, and increasing the incomes with linking to the business market that facilitates sustainable agricultural development goals. IoT-based data is a collection of large data called “Big Data” that cannot be processed and managed by traditional databases and conventional management tools. IoT and Big Data technologies are interconnected and it can be predicted that the future of optimal agriculture in the world would not be possible to meet the food demand and sustainability of production without these technologies and Smart Agriculture. This article introduces IoT and Big Data technologies, as well as the relationship between them from the vision of Smart Agriculture. Moreover, the article aims to assist in the decision-making of the strategy from the pre-production stage to the business marketing in the country by assessing life cycle and technology trends. Some of the big IoT data applications in the Smart Agriculture cycle are also introduced. Manuscript profile

        Robotic process automation is an emerging technology, which can be used to automate repetitive tasks with large but low volume. Automation space consists of providers of construction, operation and transfer contracts, consulting, business process automation and cloud robotics process automation and markets. Automation refers to the use of technology to perform various tasks with minimal human intervention, so that the automation of the robotic process, intelligent process and various operations of the artificial intelligence business are its main components. In the meantime, the Internet of Things is one of the most up-to-date technologies in the new age of information and communication, which has a concept very close to the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a term used to describe physical objects around the world using their digital communication, while the Internet is all about data sets, considering people and processes. The reason for paying attention to the automation of the robotic process is the continuous expansion of the artificial intelligence market due to the widespread use of this technology in most important fields, especially in the components of the Internet. To make the most of robotic process automation, multiple discrete automations as well as artificial intelligence technologies can be used. With this approach, the robotic automation process can be considered as the connection point of everything Internet to software artificial intelligence projects. Therefore, robotic process automation, which aims to improve business processes, is proposed as an Internet connection point for everything with artificial intelligence projects. Manuscript profile
