Normative Multi-agent System for Intelligent Building Control

One of advanced technologies implemented intelligent building control system is an intelligent agent. Most of previous research in intelligent building area has proposed the controlling system by combining the agent to construct a multi-agent system because the system provides a practical application which can minimize energy consumption levels, while keeping a satisfying response to the building occupants’ comfort. This paper proposes an abstract extended-EDA (Epistemic-Deontic-Axiologic) agent model which is enhanced capability of the original model in order to support normative reasoning for controlling the intelligent building. The individual agent model is represented, and is prepared to build the multi-agent system (MAS) for controlling the intelligent building.
