WIP: Context-Aware Recommendations for Smart Campus Environments

Abstract

The rapid convergence of IoT technologies and artificial intelligence is reshaping university campuses into dynamic, smart environments. Faced with the challenge of managing increasingly complex and heterogeneous data streams, campus communities often struggle to benefit fully from available digital resources and personalized support. In response, this work presents a modular and scalable system designed to provide context-aware recommendations that enhance both academic and social experiences. By integrating data from physical sensors, mobile devices, and external sources, the proposed framework captures rich contextual insights to deliver adaptive, personalized services that address the diverse needs of students, faculty, and administrative staff. Developed as part of the S3 Campus project at the University of Palermo, this system represents a significant step forward in fostering innovative, intelligent campus solutions that are attuned to the evolving demands of modern educational environments.
