Towards a Cloud-based Smart Office Solution for Shared Workplace Individualization
<|reference_start|>Towards a Cloud-based Smart Office Solution for Shared Workplace Individualization: In the evolving landscape of workplace dynamics, the shift towards hybrid working models has highlighted inefficiencies in the use of traditional office space and the need for an improved employee experience. In this position paper we propose a Smart Office solution that addresses these challenges by integrating a microservice architecture with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to provide a flexible, personalized workspace environment. The position paper focuses on the technical implementation of this solution, including the design of a Workplace Environment Index (WEI) to monitor and improve office conditions. By using cloud technology, IoT devices with sensors, and following a user-centred design, the proposed solution shows how Shared Open Workspaces can be transformed into adaptive, efficient environments that support the diverse needs of the modern workforce. This position paper paves the way for future experimentation in real-world office environments to validate the effectiveness of the Smart Office solution and provide insights into its potential to redefine the workplace for improved productivity and employee satisfaction.<|reference_end|>
