PACS is a novel Future Internet (FI) cloud service for data collection from IoT devices in an automatic, generalized and modular way. We develop a two-fold solution, based on micro-services for the IoT (users’ smart devices) and the cloud side (that includes the back-end services). PACS services are implemented on FIWARE**, an open-source distributed cloud infrastructure funded by the EU. PACS encompasses FIWARE and IoT-A6,7 design principles in an attempt to develop an innovative IoT platform that supports generic services and IoT devices (i.e. independent of connectivity and not coupled to specific IoT protocols). IoT-A5 proposes an Architecture Reference Model (ARM) defining the principles and guidelines for generating IoT architectures, providing the means to connect vertically closed systems in the communication layer (i.e. how devices interact with the system) and service layer (i.e. how services are integrated). IoT-A and Open Fog compliant architectures may assure that generated knowledge will be modular and reusable across domain or use-case specific boundaries.

N2 - We present an automated Physical Access Control System (PACS) as a cloud service for controlling users' activity, navigation and access in large residential infrastructures (e.g. apartment buildings, shopping malls). The main idea is to install on buildings beacon Bluetooth radio transmitters that broadcast an identifier to nearby devices (e.g. users' mobile phones) and from there, together with users' information, to transmit this information safely to a private cloud. The service monitors peoples' movements and overall traffic in buildings and public facilities and offers prompt response on cases of critical events (i.e. overcrowding, health incidents, attacks etc.). PACS provides a variety of services aiming to inform the infrastructure manager for possible increase of users' activities or access requests that require permission based on subscriptions or authorization criteria. These services are deployed over secure private clouds capable of dealing safely with sensitive information while ensuring users' privacy. Collectively, anonymous history (log) data are sent to a public cloud for analysis.
