XBOS: An Extensible Building Operating System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present XBOS, an eXtensible Building Operating System for integrated management of previously isolated building subsystems. The key contribution of XBOS is the development of the Building Profile, a canonical, executable description of a building and its subsystems that changes with a building and evolves the control processes and applications accordingly. We discuss the design and implementation of XBOS in the context of 6 dimensions of an effective BAS – hardware presentation layer, canonical metadata, control process management, building evolution management, security, scalable UX and API – and evaluate against several recent building and sensor management systems. Lastly, we examine the evolution of a real, 10 month deployment of XBOS in a 7000 sq ft office building.

An Extensible Framework for Building Interactive Courses on Web
The World-Wide Web, the world's largest hypertext structure, has already in the last ten years a huge development. Recently, many worldwide consistent or semi-consistent collections of scientific data, in specific disciplines, have become accessible on Internet. These sources of information comply with a standard for interoperability. In this paper we propose an extensible framework based on XM...
متن کاملProtected Shared Libraries: A New Approach to Application-Extensible Operating Systems
Protected shared libraries are a new mechanism for building fast applicationextensible user-level operating system services. They extend notions previously found in dynamically linked shared libraries and thread migration to provide a new structuring model for operating system services. Early prototypes indicate that the performance of protected shared library services will be good, and that se...
متن کاملThe Interaction of Access Control and Object-Orientation in Extensible Systems
In this paper we describe how object-oriented language design interacts with access control in extensible systems, based on our experience in building the SPIN extensible operating system. Several modern extensible systems, such as Java-enabled web browsers and SPIN, use object-oriented languages for extensibility. These systems allow extension programs written in their languages (Java and Modu...
متن کاملCustomization Lite
There has been a great deal of interest in recent years in developing operating systems that can be customized to meet the performance and functionality needs of particular applications while being extensible to support new policies, new implementations and new interfaces. We describe a structuring technique, called building-block composition, that we are employing for this purpose. The customi...
متن کاملDesign and operation optimization of an air conditioning system through simulation: an hour-by-hour simulation study
In the present research, performance validation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system operating in a library building was conducted. The operating HVAC system was studied in terms of the provided indoor air conditions and energy consumption level. The fieldwork measurements showed that the HVAC system is not capable of providing the desired indoor air conditions based on...
