Special Session on Building and Home Automation

Topics of the Session：

• Advanced control (predictive control, model-predictive control, event-based control, cooperative systems,  agent-based  optimization)

• Simulation  support for building  automation  (simulation  based optimizations,  grey  box modelling, stochastic modelling,  model calibration, tools for assessment of optimization  measures)

• Data analytics (building performance  analysis, forecasting,  machine-learning,  cloud technologies, occupancy  modelling,  cognitive systems)

• Fault Detection  and Diagnosis (fault detection, data-driven, model-based, rule-based diagnosis)

• Sensor and actuator  networks (wireless networks, wired networks, hybrid technologies)oLow-power solutions (design of ultra-low power wireless sensor networks and embedded systems)

• Availability (self-adaptation, fault  tolerance, reliability, safety and security)

• Interoperability (semantics,  gateway and middleware technologies,  metadata  modelling,  design automation,  building  information  modelling)oArchitectures  (system  architectures, cloud computing,  integration  into smart grids and IoT)

• Smart  Home  Technologies (sensor technologies,  multimedia  integration,  service robotics)

• Natural User Interfaces (speech interfaces, assistant technologies,  augmented  and mixed  reality)

• Applications and demonstrations  (practice, methodologies,  and architectures)
