Proposta de Framework para o Desenvolvimento de Aplicações IoT no contexto de Campus Inteligente

Abstract

Due to the constant evolution of technologies that allow objects to communicate through the Internet, constituting something known as the Internet of Things (IoT), it is possible to design monitoring systems capable of helping reduce the waste of resources such as electricity, water, and supplies. Using IoT with the help of computational technologies makes it possible to design systems capable of better using the resources available in an environment, be it a house, building, or even a university campus. In addition, systems of this nature make it possible to provide better user experiences in order to produce environments known as smart, giving rise to smart homes, smart buildings and also to Smart Campus. The Intelligent Campus concept arises from a wide variety of services offered to users who need to reduce costs and provide quality services, not only to academics but also to social, financial, and environmental services. This work proposes a Framework that allows building a Hardware/Software infrastructure for IoT applications in the context of an Intelligent Campus. The Framework infrastructure is composed of 5 layers, where technologies were defined for each one and their responsibilities within the system, as well as the communication patterns between the layers. It is also desirable that this Framework has scalability and low-cost features. The objective is that the developed work supports the most varied applications and services in the context of an Intelligent Campus. Finally, to verify what was proposed, a case study is carried out on the Anglo campus of UFPel based on the proposed Framework, and then the results obtained with this implementation are presented.
