IntUBE

A collaborative project co-funded by the European Commission. Its aim is to develop tools for measuring and analysing building energy profiles based on users’ comfort needs.

My role was to develop the ‘Neighborhood Managment System’. This application was developed to support efficient energy distribution among groups of buildings. The support timely and the optimal energy transfers from a building to another was based on users’ needs and requirements. The optimization was done through the Genetic Algorithms.

Following an Agile methodology, I lead the development team, from the definition of specifications to deliverables.

SWOP

SWOP is an EC funded R&D project which I was working on. It aims to provide an Open, Standards-based platform for products and processes optimization.

The team at CSTB is in charge of designing and implementing the Genetic Algorithm Engine. This module handles optimization of complex product configurations (manufacturing, supply chain, construction processes, etc.) via Evolutionary runs, based on Product Data which is expressed using the latest Semantic Web technologies from W3C.

We also lead the design and implementation of an Eclipse plug-in which allows the integrators of the SWOP platform to generate new end-users applications which depend on their concerns and a front-end, a web-based portal that allows end-users to access the features of the SWOP platform.
