Smart Campus in the Smart City

Abstract

Smart Cities are more and more important and relevant for the organisation of the cities. On the other hand, University Campus are like Smart Cities organisations (Smart Campus). This project is based on this idea. Using the WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) approach and Platform integration for these networks, we propose a project to implement services and applications for the so called Smart Campus. One of the available platforms is Sentilo that is intended to be used in this project. Sentilo is an open source sensor and actuator platform designed to fit in the Smart City arc

This project falls into the concept of IoT based Smart City and aims to carry out the deployment of a complete system in a University campus environment. Additionally, the development of a Global Connector has been evaluated, which would allow a generalized utilization of different platforms to carry this out in an agile and efficient manner. The scope of the project includes the Sensors, which generate the data; four different Platforms, which integrate the sensors and manage the data; a Server, which stores the data and performs data publishing and retrieving functions; a Connector, which is a software program that connects the platforms with the server; and the Client Application, which retrieves and utilizes the data. After evaluating different alternatives, the best option for the multi-platform Global Connector has been found to be a program that would allow the generation of code for the connector for any of these platforms.
