A Web Services, Ontology and Big Data Analysis Technology-Based Cloud Case-Based Reasoning Agent for Energy Conservation of Sustainability Science

Abstract

Energy conservation is one of the important topics for sustainability science, while case-based reasoning is one of the most important techniques for sustainable processing. This study aimed to develop a cloud case-based reasoning agent that integrates multiple intelligent technologies and supports, which can help users to quickly, accurately, and effectively obtain useful cloud energy-saving information in a timely manner for sustainability science. The system was successfully built with the support of Web services technology, ontology, and big data analytics. To set up this energy-saving case-based reasoning agent, this study reviewed the relevant technologies for building a web services platform and explored how to widely integrate and support the cloud interaction of the energy-saving data processing agent via the technologies. In addition to presenting relevant R&D technologies and results in detail, this study carefully conducted performance and learning experiments to prove the system’s effectiveness. The results showed that the core technology of the case-based reasoning agent achieved good performance and that the learning effectiveness of the overall system was also great.
