Intelligent and adaptive services for a smart campus

Abstract

In the last few years semantic aspects earned more and more interest and have ever more applications. Ontologies and semantic frameworks are started applied more fields than we could imagine. Nowadays, when Future Internet and Internet of Things (IoT) research became an integral part of the rise of computing, we need to react to new challenges utilizing these aspects. Our University is not an exception, it is a perfect place to study and apply these possibilities. Furthermore, a new computing concept has appeared which had a vision where computing is made to appear everywhere and anywhere. These technological advancements made possible to collect and process a wide range of data. Several ideas are applied at our University Campus where we established a framework which could provide value-added services for various people living or working on the Campus.The main goals of our project -inside the Future Internet field -are twofold. First, establishing an intelligent platform as an extensible architecture which is used to drive the central part (as we call Smart Campus Central Intelligence -SCCI) through an extensible and open interface with data. That data is used not only for data analysis but recommendations as well. Second, the interface should be open for the crowd to made available crowdsourcing inside the system for creating new services. This paper highlights our applied usage scenarios and our vision where we could continue.

Towards Next Generation Teaching, Learning, and Context-Aware Applications for Higher Education: A Review on Blockchain, IoT, Fog and Edge Computing Enabled Smart Campuses and Universities

“…Smart campus/university technologies can be used to encourage collaboration and cooperation among people (e.g., international networks of living labs). For instance, crowdsourcing can be used to collect data of people with different profiles (e.g., students, teachers, researchers, and administrative staff) and create large-scale datasets for further research and novel applications [125].…”

Modelling and Implementing Smart Universities: An IT Conceptual Framework

“…In line with this, there are numerous studies relating to the notion of a smart campus [49], focusing on different specific sectors, such as the management of the growing number of devices [50]; IoT architectures [51][52][53]; energy management and air quality [54,55]; flexible architectures [56][57][58][59]; sensor networks [60]; big data [53]; semantic interoperability [61]; or knowledge management [62]. Research has also been conducted on global smart university solutions, though these are implemented for specific campuses, as in [63,64].…”

Smart-Technologies In Higher Engineering Education: Modern Application Trends

“…3) availability, information is posted in the Internet and is available to users; 4) ubiquity, users can access information via the Internet with the help of mobile phone at any time and in any place; 5) sociability, a user can post information through social network; 6) the object itself must be accessible and addressable; 7) visibility / complementarity, the hidden information becomes accessible (visible) by reequipping the physical environment (Adamko, Kadek & Kosa, 2014).…”
