    Considering that the largest part of end-use energy consumption worldwide is associated with the buildings sector, there is an inherent need for the conceptualization, specification, implementation, and instantiation of novel solutions in smart buildings, able to achieve significant reductions in energy consumption through the adoption of energy efficient techniques and the active engagement of the occupants. Towards the design of such solutions, the identification of the main energy consuming factors, trends, and patterns, along with the appropriate modeling and understanding of the occupants’ behavior and the potential for the adoption of environmentally-friendly lifestyle changes have to be realized. In the current article, an innovative energy-aware information technology (IT) ecosystem is presented, aiming to support the design and development of novel personalized energy management and awareness services that can lead to occupants’ behavioral change towards actions that can have a positive impact on energy efficiency. Novel information and communication technologies (ICT) are exploited towards this direction, related mainly to the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), data modeling, management and fusion, big data analytics, and personalized recommendation mechanisms. The combination of such technologies has resulted in an open and extensible architectural approach able to exploit in a homogeneous, efficient and scalable way the vast amount of energy, environmental, and behavioral data collected in energy efficiency campaigns and lead to the design of energy management and awareness services targeted to the occupants’ lifestyles. The overall layered architectural approach is detailed, including design and instantiation aspects based on the selection of set of available technologies and tools. Initial results from the usage of the proposed energy aware IT ecosystem in a pilot site at the University of Murcia are presented along with a set of identified open issues for future research.

    Palabras clave: Sistema sensible al contexto, Procesamiento de Eventos Complejos (CEP), Lógica difusa. ------------------------ Resumen en Español Percibir el contexto de un vehıculo de una manera precisa y detallada es extremadamente util para permitir el desarrollo de servicios ubicuos vehiculares que hagan el transporte por carretera más seguro y confortable. Por ello, la presente tesis doctoral se centra en el diseño de una novedosa solución de carácter general para gestionar el entorno de un vehículo que cubra tanto los aspectos teóricos como prácticos relacionados con la percepción del contexto vehicular. Esta nueva solución Context-Awareness dentro del contexto vehicular ha sido llamada Intra-vehicular Context Awareness (IvCA). En este sentido, la linea de trabajo ha tenido dos vertientes. Por un lado, se diseñó un modelo de carácter general del contexto de un vehículo. Por otro lado, se ha realizado un enfoque práctico con el fin de desarrollar diferentes soluciones para percibir dicho modelo contextual. ------------------------ Palabras clave (ingles): Context-aware system, Complex Event Processing (CEP), Fuzzy logic. ------------------------ Resumen en Inglés The development of on-board services in the vehicular scope is an important line of work in the ITS field. In this scope, the perception of the context is a paramount factor so as to come up with more complex and advanced services. Thus, the present PhD thesis pursues to define a general-purpose platform to perceive the context related to a vehicle given a familiar scope. In that sense, the line of work has been twofold. On the one hand, a general model for the context of a vehicle has been designed. On the other hand, a practical approach has been carried out to develop several solutions to perceive the target context model. These solutions have been implemented by mainly taking advantage of low-cost equipments a common vehicle includes by default.
