“…To deal with these issues, an automated design approach is more effective. In [12] it is shown how new design methods can improve the efficiency of the automated development of building automation systems (BAS). A dialog system guides the planner through the elicitation of requirements.…”

Today's production plants are not conceivable without automation systems. Due to the increasing complexity of production plants and therefore of automation systems, delays and interruptions in automation projects are observed. A design model for more efficient planning of industrial automation systems is introduced. It is based on a new and practical proceeding for the construction of a requirements model. Extended feature models as formal requirements representation enable to verify the consistency of requirements. New insights on the necessary capabilities of a formal reasoning system for planning the whole automation system are deduced from the design model.

The increasing complexity of modern building automation systems (BAS) results in higher initial investment costs for BAS compared to the costs for conventional building installation. This fact scares many potential customers off the application of BAS, although these systems offer significant energy cost saving potential. To reduce investment costs for BAS, automated design processes offer significant optimization potential. For such an automated design process, consistent requirements for the individual BAS are mandatory. Within this paper, the authors propose a solution for a Requirement Ontology which is based on the knowledge representation language OWL (Web Ontology Language) for the automated design process of BAS.

The design of room automation systems is a challenging task with growing complexity and a high optimization potential. On the market, a high number of prefabricated devices from different manufacturers is available for a large variety of functions. This leads to a high number of device combinations and many design variants respectively, that should optimally realize the requirements. To overcome this problem, an efficient and scalable solution method is needed, that can create multi-vendor designs with high quality. In this paper, a method that deals successfully with this objective is presented including test results. With the abstract design of the system and additional requirements given, it can synthesize optimal multivendor system designs by using an efficient evolutionary algorithm with directed operations.
