“…The prototype tests have shown that any registered smartphone with the Android operating system can control domestic electronic devices attached to the proposed IoT platform. On the other hand, some prototypes were implemented based on innovative panels, whereas the electronic components and microcontrollers were joined for testing and demonstration purposes [22]- [29].…”

This work presents a non-invasive Internet of Things (IoT)-centric framework solution for automation in indoor environments (e.g., laboratories, offices, and houses). The platform allows for Internet-connecting electronic and non-electronic devices for low-cost and fast automation control rather than replacing them as market solutions propose. Moreover, the IoT solution comprises adaptive hardware modules, a mobile application, a database, and a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT)-based broker server deployed in a real scenario for proof of concept. The mobile application functions manage the hardware modules to remote control lamps, air conditioners, TVs, and curtains. The commands are set through predefined touchscreen buttons or voice commands interpreted by a virtual assistant based on natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) machine learning algorithms embedded in a framework called Wit.ai. The database handles user subscribing by affording administration functions. Finally, a real-time broker server manages the entities' communication based on the MQTT message exchange protocol, including a security layer based on the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol.

“…Fig. 1 Architecture of the comprehensive smart platform for social housing (Lagsaiar et al, 2021) The platform is connected to a BIM model of the social housing complex, which includes a spatial description of the complex and the properties of its components. It provides tools for the 3D visualization of the complex and its components.…”

“…The social housing complex is monitored by smart sensors that measure and transmit real-time data to the platform (Lagsaiar et al, 2021). Smart monitoring covers a multitude of parameters, such as indoor comfort, air quality, energy and water consumption, and security parameters, including building access, smoke detection, movement detection, and survey cameras.…”

This chapter presents a comprehensive smart system for the social housing sector which considers technical, social, and environmental issues. The chapter is composed of four sections. The first section discusses the challenges of the social housing sector with an emphasis on the social and environmental dimensions. The second section presents the research methodology, including an analysis of the expectations of the tenants and the social housing manager and the specifications for the design of the comprehensive smart system. The third section describes the architecture of the smart system, including the stakeholders’ communication channels, the monitoring system, and the smart services. The last section shows an application of smart system to a renovated social housing residence. The chapter shows that the comprehensive smart system should go beyond the smart building concept by extending this concept to the construction of a smart community and the involvement of this community in the improvement of the social housing environment.

“…These modular components execute specific services that can be used in multiple domains. As an example, Lagsaiar et al [72] developed a system by using existing software modules, an approach that was characterized by simplicity, reliability, low cost and ease of construction. Thus, enablers are software components that provide multiple services, developed either for general or specific usage in different domains, that can be used by smart applications [73].…”

A Framework for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-Based IoT Application Development

In the last decades, the increasing complexity of industrial information technology has led to the emergence of new trends in manufacturing. Factories are using multiple Internet of Things (IoT) platforms to harvest sensor information to improve production. Such a transformation contributes to efficiency growth and reduced production costs. To deal with the heterogeneity of the services within an IoT system, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is referred to in the literature as being advantageous for the design and development of software to support IoT-based production processes. The aim of SOA-based design is to provide the leverage to use and reuse loosely coupled IoT services at the middleware layer to minimise system integration problems. We propose a system architecture that follows the SOA architectural pattern and enables developers and business process designers to dynamically add, query or use instances of existing modular software in the IoT context. Furthermore, an analysis of utilization of modular software that presents some challenges and limitations of this approach is also in the scope of this work.
