“…Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) consists of an RFID tag (which can be either passive or active), where data is stored, and an RFID reader, which induces an electromagnetic field when in near proximity to passive tags and by this means provides power to the devices (longer ranges for active tags), enabling it to read data from the tag's memory. RFID enables a range of applications for smart cities, such as localization and tracking of objects [14], healthcare applications [15], asset management [16] and smart parking [17], to name a few. As the circuitry in tags is printed, it is natural to integrate these tags with smart label sensors , therefore creating RFID tags which do not only contain data which has been manually written, but they also capture environmental data as described in [9].…”

“…Occupancy and user context in smart homes are accomplished by placing NFC tags at strategic locations in a house and have these tags interface with the central information system It is possible to determine whether a user has entered a room and to change the settings according to the location (e.g., switch on Wi-Fi if the user enters the house) [17]. …”

In a world where resources are scarce and urban areas consume the vast majority of these resources, it is vital to make cities greener and more sustainable. Advanced systems to improve and automate processes within a city will play a leading role in smart cities. From smart design of buildings, which capture rain water for later use, to intelligent control systems, which can monitor infrastructures autonomously, the possible improvements enabled by sensing technologies are immense. Ubiquitous sensing poses numerous challenges, which are of a technological or social nature. This paper presents an overview of the state of the art with regards to sensing in smart cities. Topics include sensing applications in smart cities, sensing platforms and technical challenges associated with these technologies. In an effort to provide a holistic view of how sensing technologies play a role in smart cities, a range of applications and technical challenges associated with these applications are discussed. As some of these applications and technologies belong to different disciplines, the material presented in this paper attempts to bridge these to provide a broad overview, which can be of help to researchers and developers in understanding how advanced sensing can play a role in smart cities.

“…We demonstrated NAS usability with an application that measures how much power indoor appliances use. 5 Such an automated domestic application that analyzes the energy efficiency of home appliances must frequently retrieve power utilization data. So, we wanted to test how NAS implements a power-utilization collecting agent.…”

“…In the recent past, different pervasive applications have been proposed making use of NFC: telemonitoring, tourism, location and surfing, ticketing and payment [5] , building context-aware smart environment where it has been studied how to make applications context-sensitive to the user interaction with the scenario [6,7] . However, with the development of mobile phones users are more and more immersed into a complex environment of pervasive services, and mobile clients offer increasingly sophisticated methods to acquire services.…”

With the development of wireless networks and mobile computing, more advanced applications with context-awareness and adaptability to their changing contexts are needed. In this paper, a context-aware middleware for user experience improvement in mobile payment has been developed. Using NFC(Near Field Communication) and fast face recognition system on mobile phone which is developed based on improved AdaBoost and LBP(Local Binary Patter), the efficient support for acquiring, interpreting and accessing contexts is provided. Applications or services within intelligent environments are uniquely identified and described in a standardized way which facilitates access to and interaction with them. On this, the improvement of user's quality of experience is obtained. Moreover, one application example based on this context-aware middleware is developed.
