چکیده

The greenhouse gas effect has become a major preoccupation worldwide. Heating of buildings and houses is one of the major sources of this effect. We propose to optimize heating control systems by directly integrating the recognition of people’s activities and context in the process of temperature regulation. We introduce the concept of kinetic-awareness as a way of making a heating control system aware of a user’s motion in physical space in order to adjust temperature according to their current activities.

Using Linear Physical Programming in Optimizing Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a customer-driven quality management and product development system for achieving higher customer satisfaction. It is necessary to determine relationships between customer requirements (CRs) and technical requirements (TRs), as well as correlation among the TRs themselves. Such data are usually ambiguous and fuzzy and people have different judgments about th...
