A V-Model Software Development Application for Sustainable and Smart Campus Analytics Domain

Abstract

As small cities, university campuses contain many opportunities for smart city applications to increase service quality and efficient use of public resources. Enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 play an important role in the goal of building a smart campus. An earlier work of the authors proposed a framework that was proposed for the development of a smart campus applications. It was the digital transformation process of İzmir Bakırçay University which is a newly established university in Turkey. This study is related to the final part of the developed framework. It aims to systematically develop a software for a sustainable and smart campus. V-model software development methodology was followed in the study. The methodology was applied for the corresponding stage which mainly includes real-time analytics, monitoring, reporting and performance management. The data flow diagrams were presented at three levels, a context diagram for a basic form of the system and parent diagram for the detailed software modules, and a child diagram for a selected module. This study can guide to the following researches to create a smart campus framework and a real-time analytics software.
