    The paper proposes an intelligent tourist guiding service based on the Smart-M3 information platform and context management technology. It suggests attractions that are better to attend based on the tourist preferences and current situation in the region. The Smart-M3 platform implements a concept of the smart space providing the information sharing infrastructure in the intelligent tourist guiding service. The smart space is a decentralized infrastructure that allows different devices to share required information between them. The main benefit of the presented approach is to assist tourists in the region using their personal mobile devices. Such mobile devices need only Internet connection and capability to show appropriate information to tourists

    The paper describes the process of smart space creation based on integration of Smart-M3 platform with a DD-WRT-based device. Smart-M3 is an open source platform which implements concept of smart space. Wi-Fi router is used as platform hosting which reduces the number of devices participating in smart space-based scenarios. The article covers a process of compilation and installation of Smart-M3 platform on DD-WRT-based Wi-Fi router. Evaluation shows that smart space organized this way can be used for scenarios with few participants. The authors developed “Smart-M3 Control Panel” web-service which allows users to control Smart-M3 platform by a graphical web interface. “Smart-M3 Control Panel” user can view the current status of platform; launch, stop, and reload it; view information storage content and change it; download log files; and change startup options. SocketIO interface was used for the user interaction with web service

    This paper showcases examples of bottom–up open data and smart city applications and identifies lessons for future such efforts. Examples include Changify, a neighbourhood-based platform for residents, businesses, and companies; Open Sensors, which provides APIs to help businesses, startups, and individuals develop applications for the Internet of Things; and Cybersalon’s Hackney Treasures. a location-based mobile app that uses Wikipedia entries geolocated in Hackney borough to map notable local residents. Other experiments with sensors and open data by Cybersalon members include Ilze Black and Nanda Khaorapapong's The Breather, a "breathing" balloon that uses high-end, sophisticated sensors to make air quality visible; and James Moulding's AirPublic, which measures pollution levels. Based on Cybersalon's experience to date, getting data to the people is difficult, circuitous, and slow, requiring an intricate process of leadership, public relations, and perseverance. Although there are myriad tools and initiatives, there is no one solution for the actual transfer of that data
