Accelerating smart campus development with an extensible framework

Abstract

Advancing information and communication technologies (ICT) enable the implementation of better solutions that increase the efficiency and quality of the systems in almost every aspect of life, including the urban environment. ICT enables the creation of smart environments by utilizing intelligent parking systems, advanced waste management, and energy-efficient infrastructure to enhance the quality of life of its citizens. At the same time, such enhancements cause less harm to the environment and increase energy efficiency. Unfortunately, the large geographies and complex structures of cities pose challenges in developing new ICT projects.
