Are you in or out? Monitoring the human behavior through an occupancy strategy

IoT and cloud represent the breakthrough for making concrete the envisioned scenarios for Smart Environments and specifically, those scenarios devoted to the human well-being. Under this respect, we propose a system focused on the quality of the environments where employees work with particular attention to the energy consumption. We describe a long-term monitoring system together with the Stigma algorithm designed to detect the presence or the absence of a worker by exploiting sensing information.
