Estimation of Smart Home Thermophysical Parameters Using Dynamic Series of Temperature and Energy Data

Abstract: A development of the modern methods dedicated to the energy optimization systems for a smart home is being widely studied by community of academic researches and commercial R\&D facilities. To contribute a new method to the existing approaches designed for the understanding of smart home energy losses caused by environmental conditions, an algorithm for estimation of the thermal parameters of the smart home is presented in this paper. Proposed method is based on solving an inverse thermophysical problem in variational formulation, where the temperature and energy data are used as input parameters. This type of problem has been obtained by a reduction of the differential form of a dynamic heat transfer equation to discrete representation in order to use sensor time series data. The realization and testing of developed method has been carried out by using an open-access dataset provided by REFIT SMART Home project. These smart home sensor data have been undergone a cleansing with the subsequent matching with discrete form of the heat transfer problem. Finally, as a result of this process, the effective thermophysical parameters - heat capacity and conductivity have been calculated with the use of solving the inverse problem by one of the state-of-art minimization algorithms.

Principles and Patterns in the Object Oriented Design

Abstract: Nowadays, due to experience acquired during years of investigation and development of Object Oriented systems, numerous techniques and methods that facilitate their design are available to us. In this article we present a compilation of the object oriented design principles, as well as an initial analysis of the design patterns and their relationship with these principles and as this relationship can facilitate a new base for the study, comparison and application of patterns. The principles allow us to extract “good practical” OO and to observe how the patterns are based and connected with the design principles, so we will be able to learn how to apply them.

Simulation-driven Development of Self-adaptive Transportation Systems

Abstract: Modern Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) operate highly automatically Therefore, they have to be able to handle a large variety of situations each demanding a particular system behavior That aggravates the development of control software that has to guarantee safe and expedient operation in all possible situations To support a suitable reconfiguration of the controllers to changing environments, the use of self-adaptation seems to be a highly promising approach In this paper, we propose to combine model-based engineering of control software with simulation That allows us to create and test controller software in parallel with the physical systems, it shall operate Moreover, this approach makes it possible to safely confront a transport system with situations that, otherwise, could only be reproduced taking a significant risk In particular, we introduce a framework for the creation of control software using simulators together with a development structure The suggested design process is illustrated with a mobile robot example
