IoT-fog-cloud based architecture for smart city: Prototype of a smart building

摘要

Here, we present a prototype of a smart building using newly surfacing technologies like IoT (Internet of Things), fog and cloud for the smart city. The demand for everything smart is increasing daily, but the main stumbling block is its high price. So, our aim is to improve the standard of living in home and in office with newly improved working facilities where the whole system will be automatic, efficient and will be under the control of the user via his/her smartphone or computer but the cost will stay within the budget of a common man. All these are done by the incorporation of IoT, fog and cloud. The assimilation is done using open source hardwares and softwares to reduce the cost dramatically than the other existing solutions and implement it in an impressive and ingenious way without compromising QoS (Quality of Service) of any of the functionalities provided by other existing solutions.
