Abstract:

In the past decades, universities have become increasingly involved in various smart city projects. The goal of these projects is to continuously improve the infrastructure and optimize city functions while simultaneously increase the quality of life of its inhabitants. Mainly these projects are a collaboration between a city and its strategic partner, which is typically an international corporation and often the local university. The goal of this study is to investigate a possibility for the universities to collaborate with SAP.

Our project aims to embetter the students' quality of life by supplying them with a web application in which they can search among different university related facilities, reserve them and are also able to invite their friends to join. In order to ease the use of the system QR codes will be placed on campus to provide easy access to our system. As for the methodology, we developed single-page web application which was implemented using a JavaScript-based front-end framework, while the database to store the data is delivered by the SAP software. After the system was successfully tested on the campus, it can be extended to a smart city application. Thus, the project would be a proof of concept on how the SAP ecosystem can be used in another environment such as the campus or in the cities.

In this article, we present the smart city app that we have developed in order to help students explore university facilities while socialising with their friends, which will be highly important after the pandemic is over.
