In this work we present the design and evaluation of two high performance mass configuration protocols, focusing on efficiency and reliability, for wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) utilizing an Efficient Broadcast Module (EBM). MCONF, which was developed in an earlier work, enables mass configuration changes in a MANET using multiple modes of operation based on the underlying network scenario...
Buildings with shared spaces such as corporate office buildings, university dorms, etc., are occupied by multiple occupants who typically have different temperature preferences. Attaining a common temperature set-point that is agreeable to all users (occupants) in such a multi-occupant space is a challenging problem. Furthermore, the ideal temperature set-point should optimally trade off the building...
Minimizing the total energy consumption (cost) and maximizing the aggregate comfort across all building occupants, are two major objectives that must be balanced for effective environmental control in multi-occupant buildings and other shared spaces. Energy cost function for a given building is generally available (or can be measured/estimated) but information on the comfort ranges/functions are held...
Buildings with shared spaces such as corporate office buildings, university dorms, etc. involve multiple occupants who are likely to have different temperature preferences. The building temperature control system needs to balance the desire of all users, as well as take the building energy cost into account. Centralized temperature management is challenging as the use comfort function is held privately...
