The race to achieve smart cities is producing a continuous effort to adapt new developments and knowledge, for administrations and citizens. Information and Communications Technology are called on to be one of the key players to get these cities to use smart devices and sensors (Internet of Things) to know at every moment what is happening within the city, in order to make decisions that will improve the management of resources.The proliferation of these "smart things" is producing significant deployment of networks in the city context. Most of these devices are proprietary solutions, which do not offer free access to the data they provide. Therefore, this prevents the interoperability and compatibility of these solutions in the current smart city developments This paper presents how to embed an open sensorized platform for both hardware and software in the context of a smart city, more specifically in a offers different open standards that allow full control over "smart things" as an agile and interoperable way to achieve this. To test our system, we have deployed a network of different sensorized platforms inside the university campus, in order to monitor environmental phenomena.
Abstract-This paper presents an in-home monitoring system based on WiFi fingerprints for Ambient Assisted Living. WiFi fingerprints are used to continuously locate a patient at the different rooms in her/his home. The experiments performed provide a correctly location rate of 96% in the best case of all studied scenarios. The behavior obtained by location monitoring allows to detect anomalous behavior such as long stays in rooms out of the common schedule. The main characteristics of our system are: a) it is robust enough to work without an own WiFi access point, which in turn means a very affordable solution; b) low obtrusiveness, as it is based on the use of a mobile phone; c) highly interoperable with other wireless connections (bluetooth, RFID) present in current mobile phones; d) alarms are triggered when any anomalous behavior is detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
