The paper proposes a building equipment communications network based on a federation of existing standards and communications protocols. The proposed network concept provides a viable model for control manufacturers to provide advanced digital control of most building equipment.

BACKGROUND Several angiostrongyliasis outbreaks have been reported in recent years but the disease continues to be neglected in public health circles. We describe an outbreak in Dali, southwest China in order to highlight some key problems for the control of this helminth infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS All available medical records of suspected angiostrongyliasis patients visiting ...

DALI [3] [2] is an Active Logic Programming Language designed in the line of [6] for executable specification of logical agents. A DALI agent is a logic program that contains a particular kind of rules, reactive rules, aimed at interacting with an external environment. The reactive and proactive behavior of the DALI agent is triggered by several kinds of events: external, internal, present and ...

Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) [11] [12] has found broad application as a powerful tool for hypothetical reasoning with incomplete knowledge, as it combines: abduction, that operates by labeling some pieces of information as abducibles, i.e. as possible hypotheses which can be assumed to hold, provided that they are consistent with the given knowledge base; and logic programming, enriched wi...

Many interesting architectures for defining intelligent agents have been proposed in the last years. Logic-based architectures have proved effective for reproducing “intelligent” behavior while staying within a rigorous formal setting. In this paper, we present the DALI multi-agent architecture, a logic framework for defining intelligent agents and multi-

The geothermal resources in the southwest section of Mid-Spine Belt Beautiful China are abundant, but quantitative prediction and evaluation very difficult. Based on geographic information system (GIS) remote sensing (RS) platforms, six impact factors, namely land surface temperature, fault density, Gutenberg–Liszt B value, formation combination entropy, distance to river aeromagnetic anomaly w...
