“…An example of smart campus architecture based on cloud computing is presented in [35], where the authors deployed a smart campus platform in three months by using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and Microsoft Azure cloud services. With respect to IoT, its use has been proposed for easing the deployment of architectures that allow for implementing learning, access control, or resource water management applications [10,36].…”

Smart campuses and smart universities make use of IT infrastructure that is similar to the one required by smart cities, which take advantage of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing solutions to monitor and actuate on the multiple systems of a university. As a consequence, smart campuses and universities need to provide connectivity to IoT nodes and gateways, and deploy architectures that allow for offering not only a good communications range through the latest wireless and wired technologies, but also reduced energy consumption to maximize IoT node battery life. In addition, such architectures have to consider the use of technologies like blockchain, which are able to deliver accountability, transparency, cyber-security and redundancy to the processes and data managed by a university. This article reviews the state of the start on the application of the latest key technologies for the development of smart campuses and universities. After defining the essential characteristics of a smart campus/university, the latest communications architectures and technologies are detailed and the most relevant smart campus deployments are analyzed. Moreover, the use of blockchain in higher education applications is studied. Therefore, this article provides useful guidelines to the university planners, IoT vendors and developers that will be responsible for creating the next generation of smart campuses and universities.

The objective of this research is to present the use of blockchain technology, the internet of things and fog computing to develop the potential of school management for smart education. By using the blockchain to record and store various pieces of information the organization will create credibility of administrative data in all departments and will reduce corruption. Data can be examined transparently, especially the financial and budget management and procurement of durable articles. Regarding the academic work and registration, it can be used to store learners' information, educational history, information of enrollment, academic results, and participation in the various activities of the educational institutions. It can create credibility in the management of information about content, learning and ability assessment results that students receive, and these can be recorded and stored in a blockchain that can be safely distributed. In addition, IoT and fog computing are integrated with AI systems embedded in various modern devices to be applied in environmental management and smart education management. IoT and fog computing help to support and respond quickly to questions about the use of all types of equipment for real-time management of executives, personnel and students, as well as creating new work and learning styles that can solve the situation of dangerous communicable diseases, such as the COVID-19 situation, or can solve emergency situations that will emerge in the future by working and studying from home. It can organize and share resources for work and learning together to access the organization from outside anywhere and at any time

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to foster environmental protection, inclusive economic growth, and social inclusion. Universities are called to join this global effort and are expected not only to contribute with solutions for the sustainability challenges but also provide sustainable campi. Given this scenario, the main contributions of this paper are threefold: i) to illustrate how universities could contribute with the 2030 Agenda through smart campus solutions based on technologies such as Internet of Things, Big Data, and Cloud Computing; ii) to propose a framework to automatically collect data to generate and manage sustainability indicators in the university; and iii) to propose a simulator for green smart campus system which allows an adequate estimate of the required information and communication infrastructure.
