Close monitoring ICU patients is a necessity for health care providers. Prediction of mortality of ICU patients based on the monitored data is an active research area. If the probability of survival (or death) of a patient could be predicted early enough, proper and timely attention could be given to the patient, saving the patients life. Most of the existing work in this regard try to predict mortality...
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, like many other Gulf Council Countries, is lately experiencing a very rapid population and industrial growth, which results in an increasing demand for energy. To meet this growing demand, the GCC too is transitioning towards a smarter electricity grid with increased penetration of renewable sources. However, all agree that the success of such a shift in paradigm also...
Public buildings and large infrastructure are typically monitored by tens or hundreds of cameras, all capturing different physical spaces and observing different types of interactions and behaviours. However to date, in large part due to limited data availability, crowd monitoring and operational surveillance research has focused on single camera scenarios which are not representative of real-world...
The application of automation technology in the management of electrical energy is intended to limit the use of electrical energy in a building in order to avoid wasting energy sources and for easy monitoring and controlling a system. A Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system provide some important information related to the use of electrical energy in a building. All information is urgently...
Power Quality is a generic term focusing on several issues, going from reliability to the quality of service provided by the energy supplier. It addresses limiting aspects such as harmonic distortion, flicker, sags, swells and transients… It is important for the students to understand the differences between the large amounts of events that fit into poor power quality category. Moreover it is important...
The performance of science applications on modern HPC equipment depends on many factors. Architectural features, individual hardware characteristics, and scheduler traits all have an impact on how a particular application performs, not only in isolation but when run in concert with other user applications. Being able to correlate system events and conditions at particular times can give insight into...
Buildings consume a large portion of electric energy worldwide and they are also expected to actively participate in demand response under the concept of smart grid. A key premise for efficient energy utilization is energy measurement and loads control. In this paper, a Web-based Energy Management Application (WEMA) is designed and implemented based on our previous work. This application runs on a...
A nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) system analyzes the changes of voltage and current on an electrical circuit and can disaggregate the usage and power consumption of appliances on the same circuit loop according to different power consumption signatures of the appliances. An NILM system is regarded as one of the most important features for energy monitoring and management in a smart home and building...
An Agent-Based Provenance Architecture is described that supports the automated capture of provenance in a variety of domains, including physical and biological sciences, data ware-housing, workflow management systems, document management systems and geographic information systems. Disparate systems can store provenance of creation, ownership, transformation and other lineage using transparent, machine-understandable...
The pervasive deployment of 802.11 in modern enterprise buildings has long made it an attractive technology for constructing indoor location services. To this end, a broad range of algorithms have been proposed to accurately estimate location from 802.11 signal strength measurements, some without requiring manual calibration for each physical location. Prior work suggests that many of these protocols...
The three-dimensional visual geographic information system (GIS) based on Three-dimensional simulation 3S technology and the technical means, through the all-digital model of the factory, plant, equipment and piping systems and the surrounding environment of, to achieve a three-dimensional scene roaming in factory, showing the factory real scenes and meet the information needs of management and needs...
This text puts forward a way of realizing networking remote-monitoring system of fire fighting. This system takes network transmission as a core communication platform, and does an integrated application for multiple communication techniques through Local Area Network to acquire and manage the information of fire safety controllers of different buildings in a certain area. As a result, the cost of...
With the rapid development of e-commerce in China, many enterprises have an urgent need on how to carry on the effective marketing management under the e-business environment. The author proposes that a new information platform which can help the enterprise to realize the effective agile marketing through a number of enterprise marketing management research and analysis, so is to maintain and improve...
Building Equipment Internet of Things is a network which can connect all kinds of equipment in buildings together. This paper develops a management system for Building Equipment Internet of Things, which not only can acquire equipment operation parameters, environmental data and person location infomation, but also can publish these data to the Internet. The architecture of this system and some important...
Accurately monitoring changing energy usage patterns in households is a first requirement for more efficient and eco-friendly energy management. Such data is essential to the establishment of the Smart Grid, but at this stage, domestic data collection devices are still in development and monitoring-enabled domestic appliances are rare, so that any experimental software framework must be flexible and...
In order to solve the serious problem of high energy consumption in large public buildings, lots of building energy monitoring systems (BEMS) have been established all over the whole country in recent years. The application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in building field will certainly raise the function of building auto control technology, and reform the monitoring control situation of building...
This paper develops the software subsystem of building power consumption monitoring and management system (BPCMMS), which is significant for the supervision of building energy efficiency. By monitoring and diagnosing the power consumption, the real reason of high power consumption would be found. This paper introduces the software subsystem with multi-tier distributed application services, which contains...
ETL is an important process in building data warehouse. For processing large volume of data and accessing to heterogeneous multi-data sources, how to efficiently shorten the execution time and possess the ability of general accessing data sources is a big challenge. Aiming at the special requirements of telecommunication decision support system, this paper proposes a solution of a general ETL management...
In order to solve the serious problem of high energy consumption in large public buildings and government office buildings, this paper develops the monitoring system of building energy consumption (MSBEC), which could monitor not only energy consumption data, but also energy quality. Firstly, this paper designs the hardware subsystem with three-layer structure. At the information center layer, four...
With the increasing complexity of the Grid based application workflows, the workflow design process is also getting more and more complex. Many workflow design tools provide mechanism to ease the workflow design process and to make the life easier for a workflow designer. In this paper, we present a provenance based workflow design suggestion system for quick and easy creation of the error-free workflows...
