Tis segment describes the methodologies implemented
in this research work to review the currently available works
and build up a panoramic analysis of the SHS concept. Tis
review evaluated and synthesized the existing works on SHSs
based on various aspects such as communication mediums,
energy management, sensors, and comfort. To procure in-
formation from current publications on SHSs, reputed
publishers such as IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink, ACM Digital
Library, ScienceDirect, and MDPI were utilized. Te re-
search procedure portrayed in [20] was adopted for this
work, which categorized the reviewing procedure of this
paper into three major stages. Te stages are termed the
planning stage, the review stage, and the result stage.
A guideline to search for diferent reviews of the liter-
ature and materials is defned in the planning stage. Te
review stage concentrates on strict instructions for de-
veloping keywords and search strings to fnd precise data to
review from various sources. Collection of preliminary re-
sults, extraction of relevant research materials, and cate-
gorization of the candidate papers are also carried out in this
stage. Finally, a comprehensive evaluation of the chosen
materials is conducted in the result stage.
Te overall process of the search and selection of the
research paper are illustrated in Figure 2.
