Towards Decision Support for Smart Energy Systems based on Spatio-temporal Models
This report presents our SmartSpace event handling framework for managing
smart-grids and renewable energy installations. SmartSpace provides decision
support for human stakeholders. Based on different datasources that feed into
our framework, a variety of analysis and decision steps are supported. These
decision steps are ultimately used to provide adequate information to human
stakeholders. The paper discusses potential data sources for decisions around
smart energy systems and introduces a spatio-temporal modeling technique for
the involved data. Operations to reason about the formalized data are provided.
Our spatio-temporal models help to provide a semantic context for the data.
Customized rules allow the specification of conditions under which information
is provided to stakeholders. We exemplify our ideas and present our
demonstrators including visualization capabilities
On Decision Support for Remote Industrial Facilities using the Collaborative Engineering Framework
Means to support collaboration for remote industrial facilities such as
mining are an important topic, especially in Australia, where major mining
sites can be more than a thousand kilometers from population centres.
Software-based collaboration and maintenance solutions can help to reduce costs
associated with these remote facilities. In this paper, we report on our
collaborative engineering project providing a decision support solution
tailored for Australian needs. We present two application examples: one related
to incident handling in industrial automation, the other one in the area of
smart energy systems
