Abstract—Trends in the development of smart spaces are described. Modern tools for designing the information support of smart spaces are presented, and a brief description of them, their applied methods, and their standards are given. It is concluded that ...

The evolution of ubiquitous computing allowed the creation of smart cities. These cities use technologies to improve the life quality of their inhabitants, improving accessibility. This paper uses a systematic mapping study to analyse the works with ...

Smart space technologies have entered the mainstream home market. Most users currently interact with smart homes that they (or an acquaintance) have set up and know well. However, as these technologies spread to commercial or public environments, users ...

We present dSpace, an open and modular programming framework that aims to simplify and accelerate the development of smart space applications. To achieve this, dSpace provides two key building blocks~digivices that implement device control and actuation ...

Embedded sensors and smart devices have turned the environments around us into smart spaces that could automatically evolve, depending on the needs of users, and adapt to the new conditions. While smart spaces are beneficial and desired in many aspects, ...

Passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are attractive because they are low cost, battery-free, and easy to deploy. This technology is traditionally being used to identify tags attached to the objects. In this paper, we explore the ...

This paper presents the design and evaluation of IMAGINE, a novel interactive immersive smart space for embodied learning. In IMAGINE children use full-body movements and gestures to interact with multimedia educational contents projected on the wall and ...

Performance fluctuation on the semantic information broker side due to critical growth of the request queue length can cause its complete failure or substantial degradation of its services.Since semantic broker is one of the key element of the smart ...

The massive introduction of video capturing devices in Internet of Things (IoT) environments leads to development of various video data based services. In this paper, we consider the need and background on the video data based services in IoT ...

The paper describes the design of Ahù, a nomadic smart multisensory solution for children's playful learning. Ahù has a combination of features that make it unique to the current available multisensory technologies for learning: it has a totem shape, ...

Wireless sensor networks play an essential role in today's Internet of Things (IoT) systems. One of the most common applications is smart indoor spaces and detecting human activities in such areas. It is crucial for these systems, to collect data, ...

Kid Space is a smart space for children, enabled by an innovative, centralized projection device that senses multimodal interactivity and intelligently projects augmented reality (AR) content across surfaces. Kid Space uses a visible agent to guide ...

One of the abiding concerns of relatives of people with intellectual disability who are approaching adulthood, and those who care for senior citizens with cognitive impairment, relates to scheduling and organisation of daily activities such as commuting,...

Visible light positioning, or VLP, has emerged as a low-cost approach to enabling a variety of indoor location-based services for indoor smart spaces. However, a survey of existing approaches to VLP reveals some challenges in comparing one system to ...

Performance degradation on broker side and the subsequent possible failure is an important issue in smart spaces. One of the reasons for this problem is the increase in the number of requests to the broker beyond what it can handle. The broker can have ...

The most recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) are aimed at the development of software platforms de?ned as middleware. A smart space makes fusion of the physical and information worlds enhancing a IoT environment by enabling information sharing ...

Nowadays there is a need to receive and process large video streams in shortest time. This can be realized by interaction of video cameras with additional components of the environment (IoT-devices). Thus, third-party devices will be involved, allowing ...

The paper describes architecture of a recommendation service that provides advice on how to change the lifestyle to prevent appearance or progression of cardiovascular deceases. The service is an extension of the personalized healthcare system that has ...

Questionnaire is the most common tool of data collection for the purposes of either assessment of the trend of observed parameter of the individual, or statistical survey. Due to the prevalence of mobile devices, the cost of questionnaire-based data ...

Connected devices -- as key constituent elements of the Internet of Things (IoT) -- are exponentially flooding our real world environment, making it smarter (smart home / building / city / etc). This unprecedented digital wave paves the way for a major ...
