Smart cities become possible thanks to the Internet of Things

Abstract

Although it is a relatively new concept, the Internet of Things (IoT) has an increasing influence on our environment. Its attempt to integrate the multitude of smart objects into autonomous, stable and scalable systems will be challenging. Following this line, the development of new concepts such as SmartHouse, SmartCity or SmartCampus is inevitable. In this paper, we present the implementation of a smart building management system, using the latest technology, for a group of 11 buildings in a university campus.
