IoT Edge Solutions for Cognitive Buildings
This book outlines the promise of the field of the Cognitive Internet of Things when it is applied to cognitive buildings. After an introduction, the authors discuss the goals of cognitive buildings such as operation in a more efficient, flexible, interactive, intuitive, and sustainable way. They go on to outline the benefits that these technologies promise to building owners, occupants, and their environments that range from reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint to promoting health, well-being, and productivity. The authors outline technologies that provide buildings and equipment with the ability to collect, aggregate, and analyze data and how this information can be collected by sensors and related to internal conditions and settings, energy consumption, user requests, and preferences to maintain comfort and save energy. This book is of interest to practitioners, researchers, students, and professors in IoT and smart cities.
The Internet of Things for Smart Urban Ecosystems
The main objective of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary overview of methodological approaches, architectures, platforms, and algorithms for the realization of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE). Moreover, the book details a set of real-world applications and case studies related to specific smart infrastructures and smart cities, including structural health monitoring, smart urban drainage networks, smart grids, power efficiency, healthcare, city security, and emergency management. A Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE) is a people-centric system of systems that involves smart city environments, applications, and infrastructures. SUEs require the close integration of cyber and physical components for monitoring, understanding and controlling the urban environment. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a valuable enabling technology, as it bridges the gap between physical things and software components, and empowers cooperation between distributed, pervasive, and heterogeneous entities.
R3 in Geomatics: Research, Results and Review
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop in memory of Prof. Raffaele Santamaria on R3 in Geomatics: Research, Results and Review, R3GEO 2019, held in Naples, Italy*, in October 2019. The 27 full papers along with the 2 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 39 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on: GNSS and geodesy; photogrammetry and laser scanning; GIS and remote sensing.
Structural Sensing, Health Monitoring, and Performance Evaluation
Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses one or more in situ sensing systems placed in or around a structure, providing real-time evaluation of its performance and ultimately preventing structural failure. Although most commonly used in civil engineering, such as in roads, bridges, and dams, SHM is now finding applications in other engineering envir
Artes e arquitecturas CUF
Para comemorar os 150 anos do nascimento de Alfredo da Silva, faltava desenvolver uma visão de conjunto estruturada e uma análise setorial urbano-arquitetónica, funcio-nal e tipológica, que acrescentasse ao reconhecimento histórico do papel da CUF a sua forte dimensão arquitetural e artística, ou estética. É este o tema do presente livro, que os autores desejam que venha a ser um contributo para um conhecimento mais amplo e organizado de todo o universo CUF de obras edificadas, de construções com significado e valor, de objetos com expressão artística que constituem um diversificado legado arqui-tetónico. Nesta publicação foi dada especial atenção à imagem, com a apresentação de fotografias de vários arquivos históricos, públicos e privados, bem como de desenhos e projetos das muitas obras estudadas. Recorreu-se igualmente a gráficos e esquemas de análise dos processos realizados, bem como ao registo fotográfico atual das inúmeras situações edificadas e dos vestígios materiais ainda existentes
