Intelligent control strategies for efficient operation of residential as well as commercial buildings regarding energy demand become more and more important as buildings are responsible for a high amount of global energy consumption.

Colibri project was launched in 2016 by the Automation Systems Group at TU Wien. The development of this smart building energy management system is, amongst others, intended to act as proof-of-concept prototype within several research projects.

The need for the OpenEngSB arises due to the increasing complexity and flexibility of engineering processes for developing modern software-intensive systems which require the systematic integration of software tools across engineering disciplines (such as mechanical, electrical, and software engineering). Technical and semantic gaps between software tools and engineering models in the development of automation systems hinder the correct and efficient communication across tool and system boundaries, leading to development delays and risks for system operation. The development of automation systems and also business software development is a group effort of engineering teams that are typically working at distributed locations. The integration of communication and collaboration tools into modern agile engineering workflows is therefore a particularly relevant goal.

openKB4BMS is an open source knowledge base (KB) acting as a building management application with Apache Jena as its core. The overall system architecture is shown in the figure above. openKB4BMS sits on top of an integration layer established by oBIX or OPC UA. Alternatively, it can directly connect to IoT devices via a Webservice interface. A Web ontology language (OWL) framework is used for representing the static information about a building and its technical equipment (geometry, building physics, network topologies and devices) as well as the current dynamic state. This includes temperature and humidity values, presence states and blind positions but also the state of building automation systems. This way, openKB4BMS represents a holistic knowledge base of a building and its components.

Analogously to SQL for databases, there exists a query language for knowledge bases called SPARQL. Via this interface, semantic queries on a building management system can be executed. Examples for possible queries to openKB4BMS include but are clearly not limited to:

• Are every switching and dimming actuators of a distinct floor in “off” state?

• Which lamps in a building have exceeded a distinct operating time?

• Which lamps in a building are broken?

• How many rooms of a building are occupied?

• Which unoccupied rooms at the southern or western front of the building have their shutters in “down” position?

The SPARQL interface answers with boolean values or with the respective positive instances. On the other hand, it is also possible to update property values in the openKB4BMS by SPARQL statements:

• Perform a “central full open” to all shades of a distinct building part.

• Reset all cycle counters exceeding a distinct value.

• Activate or deactivate, respectively, proper electricity consumers for demand side management or flexibility trading purposes.

The changes performed on the openKB4BMS knowledge base are propagated to the underlying automation networks in order to update actual runtime datapoints.

In contrast to other data mining environments such as R, WEKA features advanced user interfaces that allow data mining experts to develop and test their algorithms interactively.
Visualization has been a major part of WEKA, and is often used by data mining experts to analyze their the characteristics of their data features.
This projects aims to empower WEKA with advanced interactive visualization techniques.
Besides the current possibilities to analyze data features, the projects aims to

• provide intuitive visualizations of the results of data mining algorithms
• enable advanced performance analysis, in terms of result accuracy, to allow investigating possible sources of erroneous results
• provide interactive means to adjust or extend the algorithms, and to test the improvements
