4.3 Smart Campus Application

The smart campus application brings information about interactions among people and
things within typical campus situations into one Common Information Model (CIM).
This model combines observations from sensors with mobile applications and static
structural information into one cyber-physical context managed by OpenIoT. In the
prototype the used sensors are QR-code or NFC based scanners to detect and con rm

the presence of persons and to identify assets and topics. The mobile applications are
used for booking workplaces and for discussions. The structural information describes
campus assets like buildings, rooms and workplaces, as well as teaching material.
OpenIoT supports the stream oriented processing of events as well as context reasoning
on the CIM.

5 Conclusions

OpenIoT has provided an innovative platform for IoT/cloud convergence which
enables: (a) Integration of IoT data and applications within cloud computing infra-
structures; (b) Deployment of and secure access to semantically interoperable appli-
cations; (c) Handling of mobile sensors and associated QoS parameters. The semantic
interoperability functionalities of OpenIoT are a key differentiating factor of the project
when compared to the wide range of other IoT/cloud platforms. These functionalities
provide a basis for the development of novel applications in the areas of smart cities
and mobile crowd sensing, while also enabling large scale IoT experimentation.
