Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guests Editors of this Special Issue of Sensors are inviting submissions on the subject area of “BIM Models and IoT for Sustainable and Smart Cities Sensing Approaches.” BIM models associating native building information and data gathered from multiple sources open new challenges in the IoT and sensor information representation, raising a new interdisciplinary research area. BIM models are evolving to receive dynamic information from sensors and users and integrate data analytics. The storage of building sensing information in BIM models can be used for real-time facilities management, future improvements in building sustainability, disaster reaction, or to connect and feed large-scale city models. The aim of this Special Issue is to improve our understanding of how BIM and sensor data applications can contribute to new opportunities in the IoT.
Topics of interest for publication may include, but are not limited to:
- IoT building applications for a sustainable approach;
- IoT sensor data visualization in 3D models;
- IoT smart systems; ·Indoor Location Systems;
- Cloud approaches for BIM models and security;
- New BIM models features;
- Real-time IoT data analysis on the cloud, including localization, personalization, and contextualization of IoT data using BIM models information;
- Application of AI strategies to physical context aware analytics.
