ABSTRACT At universities worldwide, creating a ‘smart campus’ is gaining significance. This is a response to the increasingly dynamic use of the campus and the pressure on resources: energy, financial and human resources. The university community has become more mobile, student numbers more unpredictable and funding more uncertain. Consequently, campus strategies focus on resource efficiency and sharing space, requiring investment in management information to improve decision making. The Internet of Things (IoT) can help to provide big data about use patterns: by collecting real-time data on space utilization, users can make better use of current spaces and real estate managers can make better decisions about long-term demand. Furthermore, space utilisation data can be complemented with user feedback data and environmental variables, e.g. noise levels, luminance. In this research we identify the capabilities of existing IoT applications through a literature study. Literature also suggests that information from IoT applications is not utilized in organisational decision-making processes. Through four case studies we analyse these decision-making processes and identify the process-level requirements to make strategic decisions in campus management. Then we show how information from the IoT can be directly connected to these processes, thus providing a valuable addition of real-time data as input.

迈向智慧校园：利用物联网应用支持校园决策

摘要 在世界各地的大学中，创建“智慧校园”变得越来越重要。这是对校园日益动态使用和资源压力的回应：能源、财政和人力资源。大学社区变得更加流动，学生人数更加不可预测，资金更加不确定。因此，校园战略侧重于资源效率和共享空间，需要对管理信息进行投资以改进决策。物联网 (IoT) 可以帮助提供有关使用模式的大数据：通过收集有关空间利用的实时数据，用户可以更好地利用当前空间，房地产经理可以就长期需求做出更好的决策。此外，空间利用数据可以补充用户反馈数据和环境变量，例如 噪音水平，亮度。在这项研究中，我们通过文献研究确定了现有物联网应用的功能。文献还表明，来自 IoT 应用程序的信息并未用于组织决策过程。通过四个案例研究，我们分析了这些决策过程，并确定了在校园管理中做出战略决策的过程级要求。然后我们展示了来自物联网的信息如何直接连接到这些过程，从而提供有价值的实时数据作为输入。通过四个案例研究，我们分析了这些决策过程，并确定了在校园管理中做出战略决策的过程级要求。然后我们展示了来自物联网的信息如何直接连接到这些过程，从而提供有价值的实时数据作为输入。通过四个案例研究，我们分析了这些决策过程，并确定了在校园管理中做出战略决策的过程级要求。然后我们展示了来自物联网的信息如何直接连接到这些过程，从而提供有价值的实时数据作为输入。
