Building automation and energy management systems increase the value of buildings by making them more comfortable, productive, and energy efficient. However, the hardware and software technologies underlying actual systems are largely monolithic and incompatible with each other hampering extensibility and favouring consumer lock-in. In order to overcome this problem we propose to create an midd...

In this position statement I advocate for a particular approach in creating interfaces for semantic web user interfaces: designing and building intelligent user interfaces with increased automation of user tasks. My suggestion is that this goal is facilitated by the characteristics of the underlying semantic information model, which will provide raw material for improved models of user profiles...

Our environment contains many physical processes that should be observed and/or controlled. Examples include climate control in intelligent buildings, factory floor automation and environmental control. These tasks require many individual sensors and actuators, which today are connected into fixed, wired networks. However, planning, installing and maintaining such a system is prohibitively comp...

Traffic congestion in highly populated urban areas is a huge problem these days. A lot of researchers have proposed many systems to monitor traffic flow and handle through different techniques. But the current are not reliable enough perceive signals real-time. Therefore, we aim build system that can efficiently perform real-time environments solve signal automation. Since vehicle detection cou...

The automation of welding processes requires the use automated systems and equipment, in many cases industrial robotic systems, to carry out that previously required human intervention. Automation industry offers numerous advantages, such as increased efficiency productivity, cost reduction, improved product quality, flexibility safety, greater adaptability companies market changes. field is cu...

Within the framework of the German Government’s High-Tech strategy, the Industry 4.0 initiative was created, aiming to develop the “Smart Factory”. The approach assumes increased automation and a transparent, user-centred Production Planning and Scheduling. The “intelligent components” communicate with people and systems independently and find the optimal route through production.
