报告简介：

Designing an effective and efficient intelligent interactive system for energy conservation in domestic environment requires considerable deliberations on tradeoffs of meeting the criteria derived from human-machine interaction and reasoning mechanism, so the system can provide the users with right information based on right decisions at right time. In this talk, I will report a mixed initiative intelligent system that employs multi-modal sensor system, context awareness model, semantics, and service-oriented architecture to provide real-time energy consumption information and recommendations for positive behaviour change on households' energy consumption. The system adopts concept of On-Line Analytical Process (OLAP) to summarise large volume of data generated from energy consumption monitoring sensors into a set of meaningful information for the intelligent system to reason. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is used to model hardware and software components, so they can be composed flexibly to meet the user and system requests. The system is currently deployed in around 250 households across Europe for evaluation. Households' feedbacks are encouraging.
