Title
Contextualised service delivery in the Internet of Things: Parking recommender for smart cities
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an important role in the development of smart cities. In this paper we focus on the development of IoT-based smart services for solving urban problems that involve IoT-enabled Observation, Orientation, Decision, and Action (OODA) loops. We also focus on how to efficiently support such OODA loops in situations where such loops involve internet-scale data. More specifically, IoT supports Observation via the discovery of sensors and the integration of their data. It supports Orientation via a contextualisation process that refines such data to include only those that are relevant to the situation and/or activities of each specific individual or group. As IoT contextualisation potentially involves internet-scale data, performing this process efficiently allows for fast decision making, and this in turn permits carrying out a timely Action. In this paper we propose an approach and related techniques for performing internet-scale data contextualisation. In particular, we propose IoT-based contextualisation techniques that effectively consider the entire range of data that is being collected in smart cities and use such data to provide hyper-personalised information to each user, i.e., information that best suits the context of each user in the Smart City. We exemplify the proposed contextualisation solution in a smart parking space recommender application/service, and provide an experimental evaluation of this service to illustrate the benefits of our solution.
