A matrix approach to identify and choose efficient strategies to develop the Smart Campus

Abstract

The management of a large number of students, activities and services is one of the biggest challenges for modern campuses. A good solution to face these issues is the application of the Smart concept to university campuses, creating the new idea of Smart Campus. This idea is based on the deep knowledge of the area and the consequent choice of suitable actions and strategies. The proposed approach develops two aspects: the recognition of the mutual influences among the Smart fields; the prioritization process weighted on several factors, such as production times, integration degree, feasibility, stakeholders' opinion, etc. The aim of this paper is to define a methodology for the conscious and coherent choice of strategies to develop the Smart Campus, evaluating them on the basis of the level of integration, feasibility and obtained benefits

Identificación de los pilares que direccionan a una institución universitaria hacia un smart-campus

“…Inicialmente es necesario revisar el término Making Smart o hacer inteligente, el cual se centra en dos aspectos: i) el conocimiento profundo de un área y ii) la elección de acciones y estrategias evaluadas con base a ese conocimiento (Mattoni et al, 2016). Este concepto supone la aparición de un método inteligente que incluye características en detalle, y una percepción e inteligencia profunda (Tan, 2006).…”

Smart Campuses: Extensive Review of the Last Decade of Research and Current Challenges

“…The method involves 5 points: planning, integration, collaboration, flexibility, scalability, and encompasses the different fields of action of the smart campus concept, which were defined as economy, environment, people, mobility and energy. As a direct follow-up work, Mattoni et al [154] developed a decisionmaking methodology for the development of a smart campus. Two aspects are taken into account: the mutual influences among the different fields of the smart campus concept and a prioritization based on several factors.…”
