Context-Based Reasoning in Smart Buildings

چکیده
Smart buildings integrate various systems to effectively manage resources in a coordinated manner in order to maximize technical performance, operating cost savings and tenant comfort. These buildings are expected to extend beyond simple automation to include advanced user interfaces, and automatic building management capable of interacting in real-time. It is not yet clear, however, how to design and implement applications with the entire building structure, services and processes. We discuss the importance of considering context in the operation of smart buildings, and present context-based reasoning as a modeling paradigm to create a general purpose applications.

An Indoor Positioning System Based on Wi-Fi for Energy Management in Smart Buildings
To offer indoor services to occupants in the context of smart buildings, it is necessary to consider information concerning to the identity and location of the occupants. This paper proposes an indoor positioning system (IPS) based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) method. The positioning of a mobile device (MD) using Wi-Fi technology involves online and offline phases. In this...
متن کاملOntology-based Context Modeling to Facilitate Reasoning in a Context-Aware System: A Case Study for the Smart Home
A context-aware system provides services based on the current context of the environment and user activities. So, context management and reasoning in context-aware systems are important tasks. A formal context model based on ontology can play a vital role in facilitating reasoning by formally representing domain knowledge. This paper presents an ontology-based reusable generic context model for...
