“…The XML schemas may include elements having types defined in our data model, other standard types, or ad hoc types. For example, a component which outputs mathematical programs should reuse the adequate type to represent mathematical programs defined by the OS standard (Fourer et al 2009). When no standard exists, for example due to the concept being specific to a new family of MCDA methods, a developer may define her own type.…”

“…The research in Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) has produced a large amount of methods to support decision making processes (Figueira et al 2005;Hwang and Yoon 1981;Keeney and Raiffa 1976). Applicability of the methods has been shown in reported real-life applications (Wallenius et al 2008), but most of them have been one-off decisions in disciplines where models can be constructed and calculated manually or with a general purpose software.…”

“…The approach of defining a common data interchange standard has proven succesful in the data mining community, who have defined the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML) (Guazzelli et al 2009) as a means to encode predictive and data mining models in a vendor-independent way, thereby facilitating interoperability of software developed for the domain. Similarly, the OS standard has been proposed for representing mathematical programs together with a framework for their distributed computing (Fourer et al 2009(Fourer et al , 2010a. Initial steps for uniform data structures in MCDA have already been taken in the XMCDA standard (cf.…”

“…Some data formats were considered appropriate for providing a data structure to describe OB model input into BPS programs. Similar to other markup languages such as HTML, XML uses tags to separate data items from one another (Fourer et al, 2009). Tags are nested in a tree structure, but the definition, position, and order of tags is left to the user and can be described in a schema file (which is itself an XML document).…”

Occupant behavior models: A critical review of implementation and representation approaches in building performance simulation programs

et al. 2017

Occupant behavior (OB) in buildings is a leading factor influencing energy use in buildings. Quantifying this influence requires the integration of OB models with building performance simulation (BPS). This study reviews approaches to representing and implementing OB models in today's popular BPS programs, and discusses weaknesses and strengths of these approaches and key issues in integrating of OB models with BPS programs. Two key findings are: (1) a common data model is needed to standardize the representation of OB models, enabling their flexibility and exchange among BPS programs and user applications; the data model can be implemented using a standard syntax (e.g., in the form of XML schema), and (2) a modular software implementation of OB models, such as functional mock-up units for co-simulation, adopting the common data model, has advantages in providing a robust and interoperable integration with multiple BPS programs. Such common OB model representation and implementation approaches help standardize the input structures of OB models, enable collaborative development of a shared library of OB models, and allow for rapid and widespread integration of OB models with BPS programs to improve the simulation of occupant behavior and quantification of their impact on building performance.

Optimization has become a versatile tool in a wide array of application areas, but there are lots of different types of programming problems in practical applications. For this reason, GIETP(General Integrated Extensible Programming Tool) is designed based on Fedora 12/Linux Platform. Several functions have been integrated in the GIEPT, including the unified standard using XML-based schema which is adopted to input model data and transform them into C++ source code automatically, the common solver interface, and the symbolic algebra system which is used to generate the matrix of gradient, Jacobian, Hessian, etc. GIETP will be able to solve different types of programming problems by using a uniform specification to input programming models, and meanwhile GIEPT can be run in multi-platform because of its platform independent nature.
