The Smart Office concept From “Smart Houses” to “Smart Offices” Smart House: a house that has advanced automatic systems for lighting, heating, air-conditioning, window and door operations, security etc. many solutions, both commercial and research Smart Office: to employ the paradigm of the smart house in a business environment, inclusion of / integration with business processes, optimization of existing processes in an organization (or office), ability to implement new and more efficient business processes, expected benefits on the user level regarding to more organized and coordinated social interactions. Challenges: correspondence of AmI-IoT with business processes, acceptance and support from the side of employees (and management), possible solution: AmI-enhanced services and processes should follow the recommendations of IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL, http://www.itil-officialsite.com) and the related standard ISO/IEC 20000:1-5.
