Functional safety in building automation

2009 IEEE Conference on Emerging Technologies & Factory Automation, 2009
Building automation systems comprise services to automatically control, monitor and manage buildings with key areas being heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, lighting and shading. Typically, they do not provide safety-related services that are handled in a stand-alone fashion.

Building Automated Negotiators

2003
The World-Wide Web is evolving from an environment for people to obtain information to an environment for computers to accomplish tasks on behalf of people. The resultant Semantic Web will be computer-friendly through the introduction of standardized Web services. This paper describes how Web services will become more agent-like, and how the envisioned

Hyperresolution and automated model building

Journal of Logic and Computation, 1996
As has been pointed out in many of the already published research works, the hyperresolution refinements-based decision procedures have proved appropriate in case of a large class of decidable classes of clause sets. The research reported in the present paper proposes a fully algorithmical method for the construction of models out of termination sets ...

Securing Building Automation Systems

2021 11th IFIP International Conference on New Technologies, Mobility and Security (NTMS), 2021
Security is a well discussed topic in computer networks and IT infrastructure. In contrast it is severely neglected in building automation systems. It is very common for new buildings to be equipped with smart systems responsible for heating, air conditioning, lighting amongst other systems.

Automation Devices and Their Connection to the Building Automation

2023
Automation devices or automation stations (AS) take on the task of controlling, regulating, monitoring and, if necessary, optimising building systems and their system components (e.g. pumps, compressors, fans) based on recorded process variables. For this purpose, a wide range of control and regulation methods are used, starting with simple on/off ...

Automating a Building's Carbon Management

Computer, 2011
Buildings are the largest contributor to the world's carbon footprint, yet many building managers use only periodic audits to adjust resource consumption and carbon emission levels. The ECView framework leverages existing workflow systems to continually assess a building's carbon emissions in relation to daily weather, commuting and travel patterns ...

Building an Automated Security Monitor

Information Systems Security, 1993
No company can survive in the 1990s without the ability to rapidly access information from remote locations. Remote access unfortunately creates new opportunities to penetrate computer systems. It is not unusual for an Internet host owner to find that an unauthorized person has been browsing sensitive files. Hackers can hit hundreds of systems at once,

Collaborative Systems for Building Automation

2012 Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems, 2012
This paper describes the use of new generation of PLC's and WinCC software in creating collaborative systems for managing, controlling and supervising building electric equipment. These systems assure all the requirements of a building and offer to the operators and maintenance technicians a more user friendly interface, accessible from distance and ...

Integrated automated design approach for building automation systems

2008 IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, 2008
The planning and design of building automation systems is a time consuming, error prone and nowadays more and more expensive task, consisting of a lot of repeated manual design steps done by specialized engineers. To reduce the engineering costs for such systems, the authors present a new automated top-down design approach within this paper.
