Fire alarm systems construction on artificial intelligence principles

A pattern language for fire alarm systems

After an object-oriented framework for micro-processor based fire alarm systems had been implemented and the first instantiated system had reached product status an effort was undertaken to clearly document the architecture embedded in the framework. The result of this effort was a small pattern language which is presented in this paper. Important patterns in this language are the Point pattern...

Speech Intelligibility and Fire Alarm Systems

Introduction Messages broadcast over Emergency Voice Communication Systems (EVCS) can provide information to help occupants decide what actions to take for different event scenarios, such as fires, weather events, or terrorist attacks. It is imperative, therefore, that people receive content that is comprehensible. Such understanding can be influenced by the message itself, the talker and liste...

Artificial-intelligence-augmented systems.

Today, AI is an established and widely recognized field in its own right, that traversed the research and teaching circles of universities and eventually entered the production centers of industries. The field of AI is considered to have been born at a 2-month workshop held in Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH, USA, in the summer of 1956. The workshop was organized by Marvin Minsky and John McCart...

Remote Control and Monitoring of Fire Alarm Systems

Most of the actual fire alarm systems used in small and medium size places in the market works as a standalone systems without the possibility of remote monitoring or configuration. This article shows a new development that provided for one hand, an Alarms and Events Reception System (AERS) that provide remote monitoring of fire alarm systems status based on a LabVIEW application and an additio...
