Abstract

Physical Web enables smartphone users to interact with physical objects and locations through the use of beacon technology. Beacons are small devices placed on physical objects or at specific places that can be detected by users’ smartphones when within a range of up to some tens of meters. In this way, users can receive notifications on their handset or associate their presence with a specific place, enabling indoor localization. In this paper, we present the design and the prototype development of a platform for Smart Campus management based on the Physical Web metaphor. This beacon-enabled platform provides services for the registration and analysis of student attendance and for the scheduling of lectures, classrooms allocation, and event notifications (e.g., notify students when teachers are in their office). The software prototype has been implemented using state-of-the-practice technologies such as Node.js, Android, and MySQL and has been preliminary tested in real setting in the context of the Computer Science Bachelor degree at the University of Genova obtaining encouraging results.
