Starting from smart cars that can walk alone to various destinations without a human driver, to smart home devices that can automatically remind the voice to do activities on schedule. All of this latest technology is part of the Internet of Things. Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept where objects can transfer data through networks without requiring interaction from human to human or from human to computer. IoT is a structure in which objects, people are given an exclusive identity and the ability to move data through networks without requiring two directions between humans to humans, that is, sources to destinations or interactions between humans and computers. So, this research aims to identify and explain the application of the IoT system in support of smart building programs and integrated environments. This study was analyzed descriptively qualitative with a case study approach to explore the benefits of IoT technology. The results of this study indicate by connecting disparate building systems with networked IoT sensors and devices, smart building applications for smart housing environments and integrated ecosystems can use data across operations, providing greater visibility, valuable insights, and better occupant experiences. IoT technology can work well if the interaction between IoT devices with humans or users must go well because the function of IoT will not work optimally if the user cannot operate it properly.Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT); Smart Building; Smart Housing Environment; Integrated Ecosystems, Building Systems

INTELLIGENT HOME: EMPOWERING SMART HOME WITH MACHINE LEARNING FOR USER ACTION PREDICTION

Smart homes is an emerging technology that is transforming the way people live and interact with their homes. These homes are equipped with various devices and technologies that allow the homeowner to control, monitor, and automate various aspects of their home. This can include lighting, heating and cooling, security systems, and appliances. However, to enhance the efficiency of these homes, machine learning algorithms can be utilized to analyze the data generated from the home environment and adapt to user behaviors. This paper proposes a smart home system empowered by machine learning algorithms for enhanced user behavior prediction and automation. The proposed system is composed of three modes, including manual, automatic, and intelligent, with the objectives of maximizing security, minimizing human effort, reducing power consumption, and facilitating user interaction. The manual mode offers control and monitoring capabilities through a web-based user interface, accessible from anywhere and at any time. The automatic mode provides security alerts and appliances control to minimize human intervention. Additionally, the intelligent mode employs machine learning classification algorithms, such as decision tree, K-nearest neighbors, and multi-layer perceptron, to track and predict user actions, thereby reducing user intervention and providing additional comfort to homeowners. Experiments conducted employing the three classifiers resulted in accuracies of 97.4%, 97.22%, and 97.36%, respectively. The proposed smart home system can potentially enhance the quality of life for homeowners while reducing energy consumption and increasing security

Perceptions on smart home concept among the millennials in Johor

The concept of smart home is a rising trend within the housing industry in Malaysia. With the advance of technology, homeowners are able to control and monitor their home through the smartphone or other networked device. However, it was discovered that Malaysians are highly reluctant in adopting smart home concept and similar Internet of Things (IoT). Within the smart home market, there were cases where potential home buyer may be unaware of the technology, thus hinder its adoption and further development. This research aims to investigate the awareness of potential home buyers specifically among the young millennials on smart home concept; perception on the factors influencing them to buy and key features that they will consider in buying a smart home. Questionnaire survey has been conducted and descriptive analysis has been used to analyse the data. Findings showed that the knowledge on smart home concept is still low among the target population. Respondents with the intention to buy smart home has chosen 'saving energy, time and money' as the main factor influencing while 'wireless lighting system' as the key features that taken into consideration. These findings may encourage the adoption of the smart home concept among the Millennia Generation in Malaysia and therefore intensify its development in the future

An Open Internet of Things System Architecture Based on Software-Defined Device

The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.The Internet of Things(IoT) connects more and more devices and supports an ever-growing diversity of applications. The heterogeneity of the cross-industry and cross-platform device resources is one of the main challenges to realize the unified management and information sharing, ultimately the large-scale uptake of the IoT. Inspired by software-defined networking(SDN), we propose the concept of software-defined device(SDD) and further elaborate its definition and operational mechanism from the perspective of cyber-physical mapping. Based on the device-as-a-software concept, we develop an open Internet of Things system architecture which decouples upper-level applications from the underlying physical devices through the SDD mechanism. A logically centralized controller is designed to conveniently manage physical devices and flexibly provide the device discovery service and the device control interfaces for various application requests. We also describe an application use scenario which illustrates that the SDD-based system architecture can implement the unified management, sharing, reusing, recombining and modular customization of device resources in multiple applications, and the ubiquitous IoT applications can be interconnected and intercommunicated on the shared physical devices

Big data privacy in the Internet of Things era

Over the last few years, we've seen a plethora of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, products, and services make their way into the industry's marketplace. All such solutions will capture large amounts of data pertaining to the environment as well as their users. The IoT's objective is to learn more and better serve system users. Some IoT solutions might store data locally on devices ('things'), whereas others might store it in the cloud. The real value of collecting data comes through data processing and aggregation on a large scale, where new knowledge can be extracted. However, such procedures can lead to user privacy issues. This article discusses some of the main challenges of privacy in the IoT as well as opportunities for research and innovation. The authors also introduce some of the ongoing research efforts that address IoT privacy issues

As compared to similar survey papers in the area, to the best of our knowledge contributions of this paper are unique

THE ROLE OF SMART ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS IN REDUCING THE PANDEMIC EFFECT IN RESIDENTIAL COMPOUNDS

Pandemic is an episode of an illness that happens over a wide geographic zone, (for example, different nations or countries) and regularly influences a huge extent of the population, which is in our case a virus called COVID-19. The problem or the gap lies in the houses and type of residents we have now, that aren’t adaptable and flexible enough to survive a pandemic while focusing on social distancing, safe living, and many other decisions, all the while keeping the human interaction alive. Therefore, the main aim of this research is to propose guidelines on how new smart architectural elements can help reduce the effect of the pandemic in residential compounds and create a quasi-utopian living. The research therefore will depend on a scientific methodology through analyzing different literature reviews to create a theoretical base. Then, the derived parameters will be used to inspect a case study on a site in Achrafieh, a part of the residential area of the city which is an affected area from Beirut’s Port explosion. Data will be collected from site visits, photographs, and interviews. This site will be visualized to be an experimental location for a residential compound controlled by smart architectural elements such as Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Automation, the use of sensors, during a pandemic. As a conclusion, it is important to go smart on the level of architectural elements, especially through such a pandemic, which should be considered as a design potential and a good risk to take, and not a threat
