Abstract:
Future smart cities would integrate a wide range of mostly heterogeneous systems and ICT is an essential asset
in the coordination of those. The smart buildings, a major smart cities research and development domain,
should advance beyond the complex automation tools and the anticipated energy and comfort envelope. The
universal convergence to technologies that would enable the seamless integration with the anticipated smart
cities urban environment should be highlighted. Although it is a concept widely accepted for current and
future developing standards, it is much less communicated across scientific fields as for example the urban
development and building automation. Even worse its necessity, in the latter, is frequently challenged. This
paper firstly will try to address the market and scientific criticism towards a fully web-services enabled building
in a fair and transparent approach. Secondly it proposes a system as an interoperability layer able to build
advanced managements sc
hemes by integrating the assets of current automation and monitoring systems to
the Internet backbone.
