Abstract

The terms Smart University and Smart Campus reflect the various opportunities provided by universities to achieve better experiences for locals to improve campus efficiency and cut down operating expenses. Both directions try to help their users reach their aims much easier. Several new aspects and technologies have appeared in the last few years and gained greater emphasis in areas such as Big Data, IoT (Internet of Things), Future Internet, and Crowdsourcing. A University is a proper place where all of these fields could be examined and applied continuously as a sustainable evolution. In this paper, we investigate software systems and related aspects of this evolution to introduce an open architecture for easily extensible services. These services are responsible to provide their users value-added information. This will increase the smartness level of the campus. We investigated three directions for this reason: IoT to involve sensing, cloud and ubiquitous computing to make our services available everywhere, and to transform our service consumers to content generators or, in other words, data producers and/or developers for new data source connections. The fourth direction, Big Data, is a forthcoming addition to the previous three for enhanced analytical capabilities to Smart Communities.
