A system model and applications for intelligent campuses

Nowadays, when Future Internet and Internet of Things (IoT) research is an integral part of the rise of computing, we need to react to new challenges. According to prognoses of Gartner and ABI Research, by 2020 there will be nearly 30 billion devices connected to the Internet of Things wirelessly. Furthermore, a new computing concept has appeared which had a vision where computing is made to appear everywhere and anywhere. These technological advancements that have occurred during the past decade in various domains, including sensors, wireless communications, location positioning technologies, and the web, allow the efficient collection and processing of a wide range of data. These ideas are applied at our University Campus where we established an extensible data management architecture, on the top of which value-added services are provided for various people living or working on the Campus. Both the architecture and a couple of applications that make use of it will be discussed.
