Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart buildings are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to provide a comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient environment. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and ubiquitous computing technologies has enabled smart buildings to become more intelligent and responsive to the needs of their occupants.
Research Challenges: One of the main challenges in IoT and ubiquitous computing for smart buildings is the integration of various systems and services into a single, seamless experience. This requires the development of advanced technologies that can support the integration of different devices, sensors, and applications. Another challenge is the management of data generated by these systems, which requires efficient data processing and analysis techniques. Privacy and security are also major concerns in IoT and ubiquitous computing for smart buildings, as these systems collect sensitive data about occupants.
