• Analysis of the impact of automatic shading control scenarios on occupant's comfort and energy load 

      Tabadkani A., Roetzel A., Xian Li H., Tsangrassoulis A., Attia S. (2021)
      Building envelopes should be responsive to boundary conditions changing in short-time, daily, or seasonal patterns. To this end, adaptive facades provide the ability to react, or benefit from, outdoor fluctuations and ...
    • Medium access games: The impact of energy constraints 

      Gkatzikis, L.; Paschos, G. S.; Koutsopoulos, I. (2011)
      We consider random medium access schemes for devices that support sleep modes, i.e. turning off electronic compartments for energy saving. Due to hardware limitations, sleep mode transitions cannot occur at the medium ...
    • PU learning-based recognition of structural elements in architectural floor plans 

      Evangelou I., Savelonas M., Papaioannou G. (2021)
      This work introduces a computational method for the recognition of structural elements in architectural floor plans. The proposed method requires minimal user interaction and is capable of effectively analysing floor plans ...
    • A review of occupant-centric control strategies for adaptive facades 

      Tabadkani A., Roetzel A., Li H.X., Tsangrassoulis A. (2021)
      The dynamic nature of daylight requires a responsive strategy by utilizing adaptive facades (AFs) as shading systems to control the indoor environment. Controlling an adaptive façade's performance is feasible either through ...
    • Soft Actuation: Smart Home and Office with Human-in-the-Loop 

      Domaszewicz J., Lalis S., Pruszkowski A., Koutsoubelias M., Tajmajer T., Grigoropoulos N., Nati M., Gluhak A. (2016)
      Considerable effort in the area of context-aware systems goes into applications that process sensor data to proactively drive actuators. However, there are concerns about such fully automated operation. Most notably, due ...
    • Tangible applications for regular objects: An end-user model for pervasive computing at home 

      Lalis, S.; Domaszewicz, J.; Pruszkowski, A.; Paczesny, T.; Ala-Louko, M.; Taumberger, M.; Georgakoudis, G.; Lekkas, K. (2010)
      This paper describes an end-user model for a domestic pervasive computing platform formed by regular home objects. The platform does not rely on pre-planned infrastructure; instead, it exploits objects that are already ...
