The main objective of HOBNET is to ease and maximize the use of FIRE platforms by multidisciplinary developers of Future Internet applications focused on automation and energy efficiency for smart/green buildings.
The proposed research addresses algorithmic, networking and application development aspects of Future Internet systems of tiny embedded devices:
- an all IPv6/6LoWPAN infrastructure of buildings and how IPv6 can integrate heterogeneous technology (sensors, actuators, mobile devices etc)
- 6lowApp and its standardization towards a new embedded application protocol for building automation
- novel algorithmic models and scalable solutions for energy efficiency and radiation-awareness, data dissemination, localization and mobility
- rapid development and integration of building management applications
- support for the deployment and monitoring of resulting applications on FIRE test beds.
Key research innovations will be experimentally validated at an integrated platform of a large scale smart building proof of concept application, in two buildings of a UN related foundation in Geneva and existing FIRE test-beds. The buildings will act as source of research challenges for smart services like energy optimization, control access, safety, audio/video provision and automatic control. Developed algorithms and technology solutions will be tested via deploying large numbers of diverse smart devices at the buildings and FIRE test-beds. These tests will also provide real data traces towards accurate models. A repository of implemented algorithms and a multipurpose building automation demonstration for connecting with external activities will be provided.
We take a holistic approach addressing critical aspects at different layers (networks, algorithms, applications/tools) in an integrated way, via complementary expertise of already cooperating (in both FIRE and building management) research groups, leading industry and a public utility end-user.
