Bits and bytes are governing an increasing number of areas in our lives and businesses. The exploration and simulation of what might happen and which action can be triggered is a fundamental part of intelligent systems such as smart grids, smart buildings, smart homes and any cyber-physical system. This new intelligence is supported by machine learning algorithms that, based on past data and ru...

The last few years have seen two key trends maturing in the industry: IoT and Big Data. These trends build on more than a decade of research in both academia and industry. As the cost of instrumentation and microprocessor chips has declined, it is now possible to monitor the environment on a widening scale. The cost decline is matched by cloud computing (exposed as web services) that provides i...

Abstract The management and analytics of big data generated from IoT sensors deployed in smart buildings pose a real challenge today’s world. Hence, there is clear need for an focused Integrated Big Data Management Analytics framework to enable the near real-time autonomous control buildings. focus this paper on development evaluation reference architecture required support such framework. appl...

Smart learning environments (SLEs) leverage technological developments to enable effective, engaging and personalized learning. SLEs rely on sensor advanced interconnectivity capabilities infer reason. A natural set of affordances for are those Multisensory Environments (MSEs). MSEs humans make full use their senses equip systems with new information, methods information exchange, intelligent c...

Interest in smart cities (SCs) and big data analytics (BDA) has increased recent years, revealing the bond between two fields. An SC is characterized as a complex system of systems involving various stakeholders, from planners to citizens. Within context SCs, BDA offers potential data-driven decision-making enabler. Although there are abundant articles literature addressing enabler mainstream r...

4th Industrial revolution or Industry 4.0 is a concept of factories in which machines are augmented with wireless connectivity and sensors, connected to system that can visualize the entire production line make decisions on its own. To remain competitive, Industries one major factors leading consumption energy. However, these industries facing two obstacles. The first low availability energy ot...
