Integrating Agents and Services for Control and Monitoring: Managing Emergencies in Smart Buildings

Intelligent Products through SOHOMA Prism

“…In SOHOMA community, these works on PLIM have been applied in manufacturing, supply chain [46], but also in the agriculture and agri-food domain [47], in the pharmaceutical [48] and building sectors [49], [50]. Finally, Information systems dealing with intelligent products have been proposed in SOHOMA with a specific importance given to the distribution of information on the product/on the network.…”

Emergent intelligence in agents: A scalable architecture for smart cities

“…This system is fluid, flexible, in continuous motion, thus causing its environmental performance criteria and task requests too eclectic for conventional control systems. For this purpose, the authors have proposed CitySCAPE as a design framework that presents a modular vision, with a hierarchical structure that implements a decentralized character at lower levels and centralized components at higher levels that deal with integrating its subsystems into the whole [16]. CitySCAPE ultimately meets the basic requirements of human life protection through two major components: ensuring structural integrity using inSCAPE (Integrated Networked CitySCAPE) and human safety using eSCAPE (Emergent CitySCAPE).…”

“…An inference device D I is an embodied agent [16] (physical device) able to store and run inference algorithms, be they low or high level, and equipped with communication capabilities.…”

“…The novelty of the solution proposed in this article takes into consideration the possibility to define an agent-based scalable coordination architecture in the framework of Smart Cities concept and Intelligent Operation Centre (IOC) strategy [15], along with the proposed CitySCAPE design framework introduced in [16]. The scalable agent and the multi-agent system architecture are depicted in section 2 of this paper.…”

Genetically enhanced modal controller design for seismic vibration in nonlinear multi-damper configuration

“…In this light, smart buildings and intelligent building management systems should take into account structural integrity. 1 The design methodology presented in this article aligns with the CitySCAPE framework presented in Pătraşcu and Drăgoicea 1 and can be easily integrated into the citywide earthquake protection architecture. Out of the four types of vibration control systems, 2,3 passive, 4 active, 5,6 hybrid 7 and semi-active, the latter is proved to be the most efficient.…”
