A holistic IoT-based management platform for smart environments

Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision towards Future Internet where “things” are provided with enough intelligence to communicate with each other without the human intervention. In the near future, the number of IoT-enabled nodes is expected to grow substantially, therefore the heterogeneous nature of implementations demands effective IoT deployments that ensure proper interoperability and reliability of network infrastructures. In this line, we present a holistic IoT-based platform to gather and analyze information, and propose concrete actions according to different goals in smart environments. This platform bases on the optimal integration and use of data collected from a plethora of different sources. It has been deployed in a real IoT context framed in the smart buildings field. For its validation and evaluation, a reference scenario for indoor energy efficiency and comfort has been considered, where a set of tests have been carried out to validate the building management techniques implemented to maintain user comfort while assuring a good energy balance.
