Sensor-Actuator Smart lighting System: System Organizational Concept and Challenges

The paper provides inside into the concept of possible sensoractuator system for public space lighting system. The scope of the system operation and potential services has opened the door for suggesting an organization for public spaces data management and information handling. The Autonomic & heterogeneous system involves multiple levels of learning and optimization. The nature of the various services imposes the different level of criticality and promotes the delay tolerance approach in data management over the network organization. While at this stage the paper offer limited quantitative assessment to the approach, available indicators suggest that widening the scope of public space lighting to provide other publically needed services should offers better interaction with the public spaces. It should also make a more effective utilization to the investment made on the existing infra-structure.
