Abstract
The digitization of the physical world and the daily life becomes more and more interesting for research and industry. The key technologies for the digitization can be found in the fields of Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing. Oneof the different settings for IoT containing a high potential to create value for users and industry is Smart Office. The existing applications comprise a large quantity of systems and services, but there are still application scenarios, which cannot be covered by the existing solutions. Examples for uncovered applications are shared office cleaning services or a flexible in-room coffee service. This paper provides definitions and differentiations in the fields of Smart Buildings, Smart Home and Smart Office, but its main contribution is a concept for the integration, the management and the control of service devices in a Smart Office environment as well as for the use of these devices through a network calendar such as MS Exchange and a voice service like Amazon Alexa.
