Chinese Journal of Electronics Vol.20, No.3, July 2011 Smart Building Control Based on Wireless Sensor-Actuator Networks∗ SUN Yan, ZHAO Guotao and LUO Hong (School of Computer Science and Technology, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing 100876, China) Abstract — Wireless sensor-actuator networks can control applications. Qiao Bing et al.[3] introduce some ongo- bring flexibility to building control. We develop a building ing research on developing a multi-agent system that combines control prototype system to exhibit how to apply the wire- an EDA agent model, personalized space, policy management, less sensor-actuator networks technologies to the building building performance quotient, wireless sensor network, and control. The general purpose is energy saving and emission reduction through the collaboration among a mass of low- building automation/management system to provide an intel- cost sensor nodes and actuator nodes. In this paper, we ligent work environment. A multi-agent framework[4] was de- detail the hardware and software in our building control scribed for an intelligent building control that is deployed in prototype system, and then we address the following key a commercial building equipped with sensors and effectors. technical challenges: (1) a lightweight trust management J.Y.
