Several domains have adopted the increasing use of IoT-based devices to collect sensor
data for generating abstractions and perceptions of the real world. This sensor data is multi …

Pervasive computing is by its nature open and extensible, and must integrate the information
from a diverse range of sources. This leads to a problem of information exchange, so sub …

IoT systems are now being deployed worldwide to sense phenomena of interest. The
existing IoT systems are often independent, which limits the use of sensor data to only one …

Pervasive computing aims at providing services for human beings that interact with their
environment (encompassing objects and people who reside in it). Pervasive computing …

Spaces and elements in the built environment have emerged as platforms where
materializations of observations and actuations promise to be very profitable. The advent of …

Achieving a comfortable thermal situation within buildings with an efficient use of energy
remains still an open challenge for most buildings. In this regard, IoT (Internet of Things) and …

The intent of this chapter is to demonstrate the value of a transversal (ie, cross-verticals and
multi-actor) digital twin platform for Internet of Things (IoT) applications and complex cyber …

Context Information Management (CIM) platforms have tended to rely on mostly hierarchical
information models with weak semantics and predefined APIs, falling short of the …

While satellite-based positioning systems are mainly used in outdoor environments, various
other positioning techniques exist for different domains and use cases, including indoor or …

Abstract Service providers provision more and more Internet-of-Things (IoT) services in the
cloud for dynamicity and cost-effectiveness purposes. This is made possible thanks to the …
