The emergence of dense networked embedded systems in monitoring and control applications has enabled the collection of data, information processing, decision and actuation at unseen temporal and spatial resolution and scale. The built environment offers significant opportunities and challenges for the application of such systems with tangible economic, environmental and social benefits. Buildings in particular, as hallmark of global urbanisation tendencies, have great potential to leverage modern technologies to operate more efficiently and provide better living and working conditions. This addresses, among others, aspects related to energy management, occupancy detection and prediction, safety and security. At a larger scale, smart city infrastructures are able to implement these advances towards wider benefits in environmental monitoring, traffic management, improved utililities networks and social services. Design of human-in-the-loop approaches offers citizens valuable direct feedback mechanisms towards the intelligent systems and administrators for real-time adaptation and responsiveness.
The special stream aims to provide a forum discussing the state-of-art and recent ad- vances in this area, addressing both theoretical and applied implemented approaches, with representatives from academia and industry along with establishing a strong context of national and international research projects and future collaborations.
