Item Design of knowledge-based systems for automated deployment of building management services(2020-11) Schneider, Georg F.; Kontes, Georgios D.; Qiu, Haonan; Silva, Filipe J.; Bucur, Mircea; Malanik, Jakub; Schindler, Zdenek; Andriopolous, Panos; de Agustin-Camacho, Pablo; Romero-Amorrortu, Ander; Grün, Gunnar; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; LABORATORIO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN URBANA; EDIFICACIÓN DE ENERGÍA POSITIVADespite its high potential, the building's sector lags behind in reducing its energy demand. Tremendous savings can be achieved by deploying building management services during operation, however, the manual deployment of these services needs to be undertaken by experts and it is a tedious, time and cost consuming task. It requires detailed expert knowledge to match the diverse requirements of services with the present constellation of envelope, equipment and automation system in a target building. To enable the widespread deployment of these services, this knowledge-intensive task needs to be automated. Knowledge-based methods solve this task, however, their widespread adoption is hampered and solutions proposed in the past do not stick to basic principles of state of the art knowledge engineering methods. To fill this gap we present a novel methodological approach for the design of knowledge-based systems for the automated deployment of building management services. The approach covers the essential steps and best practices: (1) representation of terminological knowledge of a building and its systems based on well-established knowledge engineering methods; (2) representation and capturing of assertional knowledge on a real building portfolio based on open standards; and (3) use of the acquired knowledge for the automated deployment of building management services to increase the energy efficiency of buildings during operation. We validate the methodological approach by deploying it in a real-world large-scale European pilot on a diverse portfolio of buildings and a novel set of building management services. In addition, a novel ontology, which reuses and extends existing ontologies is presented.Item KOPLE - Knowledge-oriented product line engineering(Association for Computing Machinery, 2010) Hamza, Haitham S.; Martínez, Jabier; Mugartza, Joseba Laka; SWT; SGThe maturity of Knowledge Engineering (KE) theory and practice presents a real opportunity for advancing the state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in software Product-line Engineering (PLE). Several challenges that face the adoption and implementation of PLE in practice can be addressed by exploiting advanced techniques from KE. This paper introduces the concept of KOPLE and describes the related one-day workshop that will be held in conjunction with SPLASH 2010.Item Third international workshop on knowledge-oriented product line engineering (KOPLE 2012)(2012) Hamza, Haitham S.; Martinez, Jabier; Thurimella, Anil Kumar; Deogun, Jitender S.; SWTSoftware Product Line Engineering (PLE) exploits systematic reuse by identifying and methodically reusing software artifacts to develop different but related software systems. Developing Product Lines requires analysis skills to identify, model, and encode domain and product knowledge into artifacts that can be systematically reused across the development life-cycle. As such, Knowledge plays a paramount role in the success of the various activities of PLE. The objective of the KOPLE workshop series is to bring together SPL researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to investigate the role of Knowledge in PLE. Knowledge is usually encapsulated in PL architectures in a tacit or implicit way, and this may appear to be sufficient for industry to implement successful product lines. Nevertheless, KOPLE also aims to become a discussion forum about techniques and methods to convert from tacit to explicit Knowledge in PLE and to process and use this Knowledge for optimizing and innovating PLE processes.
