Organizing Smart Buildings and Cities
The United Nations included sustainable cities and communities in its 2030 SDGs. Cities and, on a smaller scale, neighborhoods, building managers and firms are now adopting technologies and information systems to help achieve the energy, economic, social and environmental transition. This volume gathers contributions on the key organizational success factors for this transition. To do so, it analyzes the role of information systems, use of data, and technological assistance solutions from multiple perspectives. The goal is to develop a framework that can successfully apply information systems to organizational and environmental issues for smart cities and smart buildings. Accordingly, the book addresses living-lab experiment evaluation techniques, and provides critical analyses of the role of the environment, context and users’ behavioral responses. In addition, it discusses key questions on the efficient management of resources, need for appropriate IT solutions, and employing co-creation with users to improve planning and organization.
Multimedia Data Processing and Computing
This book focuses on different applications of multimedia with supervised and unsupervised data engineering in the modern world. It includes AI-based soft computing and machine techniques in the field of medical diagnosis, biometrics, networking, manufacturing, data science, automation in electronics industries, and many more relevant fields. Multimedia Data Processing and Computing provides a complete introduction to machine learning concepts, as well as practical guidance on how to use machine learning tools and techniques in real-world data engineering situations. It is divided into three sections. In this book on multimedia data engineering and machine learning, the reader will learn how...
Ad Hoc Networks
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International ICST Conference, ADHOCNETS 2011, held in Paris, France, in September 2011. The 15 revised full papers - selected from 42 submissions - and the 2 invited papers cover several fundamental aspects of ad hoc networking, including security, quality of service, radio and spectrum analysis, mobility, energy efficiency, and deployment. They are organized in topical sections on security and QoS, WSN development and evaluation, radio and spectrum analysis, mobile WSNs, mobile ad hoc networks, and energy.
Ad-hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Ad-hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks, ADHOC-NOW 2013, held in Wroclaw, Poland, in July 2013. The 27 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 56 submissions. The papers address such diverse topics as routing, rumor spreading, reliability, topology control, security aspects, and the impact of mobility. Some of the papers contain precise analytical results while other ones are devoted to solving specific practical problems of implementation and deployment.
Smart Users for Energy and Societal Transition
Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are now realities. Their causes and origins stem from the energy, goods and resources relied upon by the lifestyle of a growing part of humanity. Smart Users for Energy and Societal Transition presents this much needed transition, as well as the scenarios and paths essential to mitigating the impacts of climate change. It deals with transitions experimented in the form of ecosystems in universities, cities and territories, as well as with concepts of smart buildings, smart grids and smart cities, addressed to smart users – or not – in an interdisciplinary research context. Sociological issues related to the role of smart building users are discussed, ranging from acceptance to the appropriation of the technologies made available to them. The book highlights the ethics of this essential transition and the importance of individual behaviors in safeguarding humanity on a preserved planet.
Des usagers intelligents pour la transition énergétique et sociétale
Le dérèglement climatique et la perte de biodiversité sont aujourd’hui des réalités. Leurs causes et origines proviennent du mode de vie très consommateur d’énergies, de biens et de ressources d’une partie croissante de l’humanité. Des usagers intelligents pour la transition énergétique et sociétale fait le point sur cette transition plus que nécessaire, ainsi que sur les scénarios et les pistes essentielles pour atténuer l’impact du changement climatique. Il traite des transitions expérimentées sous forme d’écosystèmes dans les universités, les villes et les territoires, ainsi que des concepts de smart buildings, de smart grids et de smart city adressés à des smart users ou non, dans un contexte de recherche interdisciplinaire. Les questions sociologiques liées au rôle des usagers dans les smart buildings sont abordées, allant de l’acceptation à l’appropriation des technologies mises à leur disposition. L’éthique de la transition et l’importance des comportements individuels dans la sauvegarde de l’humanité sur une planète préservée sont mis en évidence.
Réseaux d’énergie et bâtiments intelligents pour la transition énergétique et sociétale
La Terre connaît une grave crise écologique induite par une consommation énergétique et matérielle effrénée des sociétés humaines, impactant le climat et la biodiversité de façon irréversible. Cet ouvrage présente des approches interdisciplinaires pour amener les bâtiments, les réseaux d’énergie électrique, leurs usagers à contribuer à la transition énergétique et sociétale. Il questionne les techniques, les usages et les imaginaires dans la mise en oeuvre des smart buildings et des smart grids. Les prévisions de production et de consommation, la modélisation de l’implication des acteurs et l’autoconsommation au sein d’une communauté énergétique renouvelable exploitant la technologie blockchain sont des exemples développés en vue de favoriser l’émergence des smart grids. Les potentialités des smart buildings, prenant en compte le confort des usagers tout en augmentant leur efficacité énergétique, sont identifiées. Des démonstrateurs à échelle réelle permettent de tester les solutions proposées et l’appropriation par les usagers des possibilités de flexibilité électrique.
