Cloud computing, room monitoring, wireless sensor networkAbstract
This paper presents the ongoing collaboration project between Riga Technical University and Accenture. The project is implemented by using recent technologies - Wireless Sensor Networks and Cloud Computing - to implement office room monitoring application that would make room utilization easier and more productive. The proposed system will provide administration with following information: how long and when the room is occupied, temperature, humidity, luminosity and CO2 concentration. The obtained information will be used to plan meetings, interviews, etc.References
