A Reference Architecture for Smart Building Digital Twin
This paper proposes a software architecture for creating and managing unambiguous descriptions of a Smart Building, allowing its Digital Twin to be deployed. These descriptions include static semantic structural description and dynamic time-series sensors data. Moreover, it is designed to be able to include data from various simulation tools, represented in the same way as […]

Simplified Building Thermal Model Development and Parameters Evaluation Using a Stochastic Approach
This paper proposes an approach to develop building dynamic thermal models that are of paramount importance for controller application. In this context, controller requires a low-order, computationally efficient, and accurate models to achieve higher performance. An efficient building model is developed by having proper structural knowledge of low-order model and identifying its parameter values. Simplified […]

Optimal Scheduling of Grid Transactive Home Demand Responsive Appliances Using Polar Bear Optimization Algorithm
The conventional power system has been evolving towards a smart grid system for the past few decades. An integral step in successful realization of smart grid is to deploy renewable energy resources, particularly rooftop photovoltaic systems, at smart homes. With demand response opportunities in smart grid, residential customers can manage the utilization of their demand […]

A Raspberry-Pi based Surveillance Camera with Dynamic Motion Tracking
Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, activities, or other information for the purpose of influencing, managing or protecting people and belongings. It is very useful to governments and law enforcement to maintain social control, recognize threats, and prevent criminal activity. With the emergence of video cameras and recorders, video surveillance has become easier and the […]

Fiscal stance, election year and 2007 crisis, evidence from OECD countries (1980–2017)
The purpose of this article is to explain the rapid narrowing of fiscal room of manoeuvre following the 2007 crisis in the Eurozone by analyzing the fiscal cyclicality of a sample of 19 OECD countries over the period 1980–2017, with a focus on the election year, the government ideology and the pre-crisis period. We adopt […]

Ordonnancement dynamique des tâches robotisées pour le traitement du mildiou par radiation UV-c dans l’horticulture
Dans cet article nous présentons une méthode d’ordonnancement dynamique appliquée au traitement robotisé de la maladie du mildiou dans les serres. Le traitement se fait par radiation ultraviolet (UV-c) avec un robot mobile autonome muni de lampes UV-c. Dans un premier temps, nous avons développé l’environnement du robot dans la serre dans un simulateur basé […]

A Smart Living Framework: Towards Analyzing Security in Smart Rooms
Indoor environments play a main role on people living, work, social life, and health. Especially, recent statistics show that people who are often most susceptible to the adverse health effects tend to spend more time indoors. To overcome these issues, modern rooms are well equipped with di erent kind of connected objects (IoT) in order […]

Towards a Call Behavior-Based Compositional Verification Framework for SysML Activity Diagrams
SysML activity diagram is a standard modeling language for complex systems. It supports systems’ composition by providing the operator ‘call behavior’. In general, the verification of systems modeled with those diagram inherit the limitations of the developed built-in tools, especially the case of model checking. To address this shortcoming, we propose a compositional verification framework […]

Managing uncertainty during CBR systems vocabulary maintenance using Relational Evidential C-Means
Due to the incremental learning of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) systems, there is a colossal need to maintain their knowledge containers which are (1) the case base, (2) similarity measures, (3) adaptation, and (4) vocabulary knowledge. Actually, the vocabulary presents the basis of all the other knowledge containers since it is used for their description. Besides, […]

Une approche par éléments finis cohésifs-volumétriques, tenant compte des propriétés mécaniques de la zone de transition interfaciale (ITZ), est utilisée pour étudier le comportement mécanique du béton lors d’un essai de compression uniaxiale. Dans ce travail, un modèle géométrique bidimensionnel à l’échelle mésoscopique du béton numérique a été considéré. Les échantillons obtenus sont maillés à […]
