Abstract: Technological progress in recent years and the increase of Internet of things (IoT) in our daily life brought a huge flood of data that can only be handle, processed and exploited in real-time with the help of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The ICT is one main element in order to achieve more efficient and sustainable an environment resource management, while the needs of the citizens are satisfied, creating new applications to improve citizen’s quality life. The creation of new systems that allow the acquisition of context information, automatically and transparently, and give that information to decision support systems are important aspects for information societies. In this paper it will be presented the usability and importance of sensors to get information from our environment in order to know what and when happen changes around us as well as the importance of ontologies in the structure and organization of the systems, to acquire new knowledge.
