Abstract


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.

Keywords:
Cloud computing; room monitoring; wireless sensor network.
