Nowadays, elevators are equipped with storage devices to ensure autonomy in case of grid
failure. This paper presents a method that takes advantage of these storage devices to …

In the hyperconnectivity era, the relational-self [1], whose identity is based on the condition
of plurality, becomes the symbolic representation of humanness in the world. Enabled by the …

An efficient monitoring system and communication framework for energy usage and
consumption monitoring in a microgrid is the basis for any development of energy …

During the last decades a lot of coordination models and languages have been proposed in
the literature. These approaches have proven that they can greatly improve the development …

As the interest in regulating energy usage and participating in the demand-response market
is growing, new energy management algorithms emerge. Energy consumption of elevators …

As the interest in regulating energy usage and in the demand-response market is growing,
new energy management algorithms emerge. In this paper, we propose a formalization of …

In this chapter, we present a number of applications of the Arrowhead Framework with
special attention to services related to awareness and optimisation of energy consumption …

Space based computing systems have seen an increase in popularity since their first
appearance in the mid-eighties. Hence, it is no wonder that what started with Linda, which is …

In this chapter we investigate the problem of energy optimization of a Multisource Elevator.
We propose a large framework including a strategic optimizer and a local controller. The …
