Application of a Smart City Model to a Traditional University Campus with a Big Data Architecture: A Sustainable Smart Campus

Abstract

Currently, the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data seeks to cover the needs of an increasingly demanding society that consumes more resources. The massification of these technologies fosters the transformation of cities into smart cities. Smart cities improve the comfort of people in areas such as security, mobility, energy consumption and so forth. However, this transformation requires a high investment in both socioeconomic and technical resources. To make the most of the resources, it is important to make prototypes capable of simulating urban environments and for the results to set the standard for implementation in real environments. The search for an environment that represents the socioeconomic organization of a city led us to consider universities as a perfect environment for small-scale testing. The proposal integrates these technologies in a traditional university campus, mainly through the acquisition of data through the Internet of Things, the centralization of data in proprietary infrastructure and the use of big data for the management and analysis of data. The mechanisms of distributed and multilevel analysis proposed here could be a powerful starting point to find a reliable and efficient solution for the implementation of an intelligent environment based on sustainability.

The Relationship between the Facial Expression of People in University Campus and Host-City Variables

“…The analysis of collinearity among city variables on ranked scores of happy and sad expressions, and positive response index (PRI) in visitors at university campuses across mainland China. 4 Enterprises above designated scale, annual revenue over 20 million Yuan from the primary business of industrial enterprises; 5 C&T, city and town; 6 institutions of higher education, educational institutions that can grant degrees that are higher than high-school education, including university, college, vocational technique university/college, etc.…”

“…A sustainable city should respond to residents' needs through sustainable solutions for social and economic aspects [1]. The tradeoff between resource consumption and citizens' demand can be sustainably solved by the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the internet of things (IoT), which can be accessed in a smart local university campus [5,6]. Therefore, a future-like relationship emerges between city variables and public attitude towards local university campuses.…”

“…Besides the responsibilities of teaching and research, universities are increasingly expected to turn knowledge into innovation [11]. Universities can also be a partner with their host-city to develop the transformation to a smart community [1,[5][6][7]. To test design principles, a university campus can be taken as a socioeconomic organization like a mini-city and the management and demands for resources therein can be acquired by the using data through the IoT.…”

Proposal of an Architecture for the Integration of a Chatbot with Artificial Intelligence in a Smart Campus for the Improvement of Learning

“…This work focuses on the use of big data architecture for data analysis and management since it is a problem already developed by the authors. This allows us to focus on the design and functionality of the artificial intelligence model, knowing that the data analysis process has been sufficiently tested in a smart campus [33].…”

“…The phases of the architecture start from the user interaction with the system, and this interaction uses a channel that, in this case, is done through a chat or SMS. of the artificial intelligence model, knowing that the data analysis process has been sufficiently tested in a smart campus [33].…”
