Forecasting future power consumption in residential buildings is important to optimize the grid, assist inhabitants everyday activities, and save energy. Several machine learning methods have been proposed predict electricity smart homes based on history of past data acquired from meters. However, increasing availability home sensors can provide insights about routines activities inhabitants, t...

Abstract Residential and commercial buildings are responsible for approximately 35% of carbon emissions in industrialized countries. Making more efficient sustainable is, therefore, a fundamental step toward low-carbon energy society. A key to achieving sustainability is by leveraging on storage systems smart technologies switch between carriers order optimize environmental impact. However, the...

The residential sector contributes a large part of the energy to global balance. To date, housing demand has mostly been uncontrollable and inelastic grid conditions. Analyzing performance home management system requires creation various profiles real-world demand, as is complex includes multiple factors such occupancy, climate, user preferences, appliance types. Average Peak Ratio (A2P) one mo...

IoT devices are used frequently in smart homes. To better understand how users perceive the security of their homes, a model was developed and tested with multiple linear regression. A total 306 participants participated survey measurement items, out which 121 had already been using The results show that users’ awareness data breaches, ransomware attacks, personal information access device vuln...

Recently, a range of industry languages and frameworks solutions have been realized to enable web services composition. Among these, we find the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) [1] and the Semantic Markup Language for Web Services (OWL-S) [2]. But there is still a need to propose a system which offers more flexibility to compose and invoke services and which reinf...

Low voltage electrical wiring in homes has largely been dismissed as too noisy and unpredictable to support high speed communication signals. However, recent advances in communication and modulation methodologies as well as in adaptive digital signal processing and error detection and correction have spawned novel media access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) protocols, capable of support...

This paper proposes a novel way that allows users to create pervasive computing environments without experts. In this way, nonsmart components which form everyday objects such as furniture and appliances commonly found in homes and offices are made smart in advance, not in the way to convert non-smart objects to smart ones by attaching computers, sensors, and devices. As our first prototype to ...

Context-aware computing is the concept of leveraging information about the end user to improve the quality of the interaction. Emerging context-enriched services will use location, presence, social attributes, and other environmental information to anticipate an end user's immediate needs, offering more-sophisticated, situation-aware and usable functions. Smart homes connect all the devices and...
